Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a method, a mobile node, an access network as well as a computer program product for enabling of a handover of a mobile node between access networks in the framework of mobile IP. The invention focuses on service continuity of an internet service that is launched by the mobile node. Enabling of a handover of the mobile node accounts for the QoS required by the internet service and the QoS provided by various access networks. Handover of a mobile node is only enabled if the new access network fulfills the QoS requirements of the internet service. Service discontinuity may therefore effectively be eliminated.
