Summary:
I propose Ethernet handover in one large domain of ring network with L2, L3 switch function covered by transferring Ethernet frame from mobile nodes to a router via base station and ring network. I clarified handover behavior using the ring network that has some packet's add, drop and passing equipment including packet dropping lower MAC address memory, packet passing address table and short time packet dropping address table, realizing layer 2 switch function. Also, I investigated handover method that old BS that sends certification packet to new BS when the old BS receives request packet from handover mobile node for sending certification packet for handover mobile node, and then, new BS sets mobile channel for handover mobile node. I moreover clarified new lower MAC address memory structure. As IPv6 address case, I clarified that MAC address part of IPv6 address needs to be used as MAC address of MAC packet.
