HP-UX IPSec and HP-UX Mobile IPv6

Introduction

Mobile Node’s current Care-of Address and its home address. The Home Agent also forwards packets addressed to the Mobile Node’s home address to the Mobile Node’s Care-of Address as needed.

 

Home Agents and Basic Operation

 

In Mobile IPv6 Basic Operation, the Correspondent Node sends

 

data-packets to the Mobile Node using the Mobile Node’s home address.

 

A Home Agent (HA), a node or router on the Mobile Node’s home

 

network, intercepts these data-packets and sends them through an

 

IPSec tunnel to the Mobile Node’s current Care-of Address, as shown in

 

Figure 7-1, “Mobile IPv6 Basic Operation: Correspondent Node to Mobile

 

Node.”
