In this chapter, we begin to examine the details of the Mobile IPv6 protocol, which can naturally be broken down into several related parts:
• Binding Cache management
• Return Routability procedure for route optimization
• Security management and RFC 3776
• Delivering packets to the care-of address
• Movement detection and link establishment
• Home agent discovery
These will provide a good recipe for organizing the protocol details. Our intention is not to duplicate the protocol specification in [9] but instead to explain each part, along with the design rationale, in a way that does not typically belong in the specification itself.
Certain details about IPv6 will also need explanation along the way. In addition to locating these details separately in a preceding chapter, we will explain the relevant IPv6 features along the way as they are needed.
6.1 BINDING CACHE MANAGEMENT
Mobile IPv6 can be understood as a way of managing route table entries in nodes that need to send packets to a mobile node. These route table entries have the mobile node’s home address as the destination and provide information about how to deliver packets to that address. When the ...
