Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a growing technology. The vehicle (acting as mobile routers) in the network uses the wireless medium to communicate with other nodes (vehicles) in their radio range. A heterogeneous wireless network (HWN) which is hybrid network of cellular network (having access routers (AR) and Internet Service Providers (ISP) for providing communication and internet services to the VANET) and VANET. Internet Engineering Task force (IETF) purposed MIPv4/v6 (Mobile Internet Protocol -version4/6) and FMIPv6 (Fast) as mobility and handover management techniques which are standard protocols. An enhancement of FMIPv6, a handover management technique using concept of tunnelling is simulated in a VANET scenario. NS2 is the simulating tool for analysing performance of advanced FMIPv6 against standard FMIPv6 by considering the parameters like Tunnelling Performance, Handover Latency, Packet Loss, Signalling Overhead Ratio, Service Disruption Time, and Network Time
