HP-UX IPSec and HP-UX Mobile IPv6

 

Introduction

 

The Mobile Node sends data packets to the Correspondent Node through

 

its Home Agent in Basic Operation, as shown in Figure 7-2, “Mobile IPv6

 

Basic Operation: Mobile Node to Correspondent Node.”

Route Optimization

In addition to Basic Operation, Mobile IPv6 can operate using Route Optimization. Route Optimization improves data transmission rates between the Correspondent Node and Mobile Node. With Route Optimization, the Mobile Node and Correspondent Node communicate directly with each other and bypass the Home Agent. Route Optimization is especially beneficial when the Mobile Node and Correspondent Node are in the same network.

The Mobile Node sends data packets directly to the Correspondent Node, as shown by the solid-line data path in Figure 7-3, “Mobile IPv6 Route Optimization.” The Correspondent Node sends data-packets directly to the Mobile Node’s Care-of Address, as shown by the dotted-line data path in Figure 7-3, “Mobile IPv6 Route Optimization.”
