Abstract

This document describes a home agent-assisted route optimizationfunctionality for the IPv4 Network Mobility Protocol. The functionis designed to facilitate optimal routing in cases where all nodesare connected to a single home agent; thus, the use case is routeoptimization within a single organization or similar entity. Thefunctionality enables the discovery of eligible peer nodes (based oninformation received from the home agent) and their network prefixes,and the establishment of a direct tunnel between such nodes.This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internetcommunity.
