Network Integration
n Agent Advertisement
HA and FA periodically send advertisement messages into their physical
subnets
MN listens to these messages and detects, if it is in the home or a foreign
network (standard case for home network)
MN reads a COA from the FA advertisement messages
n Registration (always limited lifetime!)
MN signals COA to the HA via the FA, HA acknowledges via FA to MN
these actions have to be secured by authentication
n Advertisement
HA advertises the IP address of the MN (as for fixed systems), i.e. standard
routing information
routers adjust their entries, these are stable for a longer time (HA responsible
for a MN over a longer period of time)
packets to the MN are sent to the HA,
independent of changes in COA/FA
