In this paper we describe a media streaming application build to test a system which implements the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) standard, for interoperability between wireless hybrid access networks. We evaluated the real-time performance of our vertical handover prototype system by means of the audio streaming continuity assessment. The current results proved only moderately performances, but they also showed us which components have to be improved. Further developments will address these improvements, and will extend the application with video streaming capabilities.
