Abstract;An IPv6-capable host can configure itself using Neighbor Discovery protocol, but it is not designed with mobility so well. For example, since the default lifetime of network prefix defined by IPv6 specification is relatively long, for mobile hosts, a mobile host sometimes behaves as if it is connected with an old network after moving from the network. This paper describes an extension, in which a host associates a network prefix with routers that advertise the prefix so that it can detect its movement from a network and do not use the prefix of the old network. Implementation and effectiveness of the extension is also shown. (author abst.)
