Optimization of Packet Forwarding
n Triangular Routing
– sender sends all packets via HA to MN
– higher latency and network load
n “Solutions”
– sender learns the current location of MN
– direct tunneling to this location
– HA informs a sender about the location of MN
– big security problems!
n Change of FA
– packets on-the-fly during the change can be lost
– new FA informs old FA to avoid packet loss, old FA now forwards
remaining packets to new FA
– this information also enables the old FA to release resources for
the MN
