–Mostly self-configuring (little management needed)
–Integration with firewalls / private address support possible
n
nPotential problems:
–Not transparent to MNs (additional control messages)
–Public-key encryption of MN keys may be a problem
for resource-constrained MNs
–Multiple-path forwarding may cause inefficient use of available bandwidth
