<p>A vertical handover method in an Internet-based mobile network and a system are provided to newly define a handover network information request and a handover network information response message, and to use an anycast address, thus a mobile node can find a network information server having overall state information on an access network whose location is hard to find. If signal strength for a link of the currently connected access network is low, neighboring access networks are monitored to sense at least one new link(201). If the at least one new link is sensed, a network information server located at a random position is searched to select an access network for handover by using network information obtained from the network information server(202,203). The handover is carried out to the selected access network(204,205).</p> |
