HP-UX Mobile IPv4 Release Notes Announcement Announcement HP-UX Mobile IPv4, version A.02.01, provides mobility support for mobile devices to migrate from their home network to other networks, either within the same administrative domain or to other administrative domains on the Internet. HP-UX Mobile IPv4 product supports IP Encapsulation and IP Tunneling to facilitate transparent routing and tunneling of datagrams to a Mobile Node in a foreign network.
HP-UX Mobile IPv4 Release Notes What’s in This Version What’s in This Version This version of HP-UX Mobile IPv4 software supports the following IETF specifications: • RFC 3344 - IP Mobility Support for IPv4 • RFC 2003 - IP Encapsulation within IP • RFC 3024 - Reverse Tunneling for Mobile IP • RFC 2794 - Mobile IP Network Access Identifier • RFC 3012 - Mobile IP Challenge/Response Extensions • Route Optimization in Mobile IP, Draft 11: draft-ietf-mobileip-optim-11.
HP-UX Mobile IPv4 Release Notes What’s in This Version • Reverse Tunneling - HP-UX Mobile IPv4 software provides reverse tunneling support in the mobility agents (HA, FA, and HA/FA). This allows for datagrams sent by a Mobile Node to be tunneled to its Home Agent from its Care-of Address (Foreign Agent or Co-located). The Home Agent then decapsulates the tunneled datagram and routes it to the original destination.
HP-UX Mobile IPv4 Release Notes Unsupported Features Unsupported Features This release of the HP-UX Mobile IPv4 software does not support these features: • The ‘R’ bit Feature - A Foreign Agent can require a Mobile Node to register through it even if the Mobile Node is using a co-located address. The Mobile Node is notified about this requirement when the R-flag (Registration Required) in the Agent Advertisement message is set to 1.
