Home Agent-Assisted Route Optimization between Mobile IPv4 Networks
Abstract
This document describes a home agent-assisted route optimization
functionality for the IPv4 Network Mobility Protocol. The function
is designed to facilitate optimal routing in cases where all nodes
are connected to a single home agent; thus, the use case is route
optimization within a single organization or similar entity. The
functionality enables the discovery of eligible peer nodes (based on
information received from the home agent) and their network prefixes,
and the establishment of a direct tunnel between such nodes.
Status of This Memo
This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is
published for examination, experimental implementation, and
evaluation.
This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community. This document is a product of the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF
community. It has received public review and has been approved for
