Mobility in a wireless
Internet
Chapter three of Mobile IPv6 by Hesham Soliman describes the operation of Mobile IPv6,
starting with the role of each element: the mobile node, the correspondent node, and the home
agent. It also discusses the various failure cases for the mobile node, correspondent node, and
home agent; and how the protocol can cope with each one. Finally, the knowledge gained in this
chapter can be used to build simplified flowcharts that describe the mobile and correspondent
nodes' operations. (Reproduced from Mobile IPv6, ISBN 0201788977, Copyright 2004 with permission
