4.6.1.2 Mobile Node Parameters
Registration Lifetime
This parameter is the maximum registration lifetime that a terminal will register for,
in seconds. This value depends on the dynamics of your system. A few tenths of
seconds to a few minutes seem appropriate. The value 65535 is equivalent to
“infinite” for the parameter using it. If the terminal requests a value that is larger
than the value configured in the Home Agent, the registration will be rejected and
the terminal will have to retry with a lower value.
The acceptable value ranges from 300 to 65535. The default value is 65535.
Maximum Number Of Bindings Per Mobile Node
This parameter represents the maximum number of simultaneously available
agents for each mobile node. It should be set to a reasonable value, according to the
maximum number of base stations that can be in the mobile node's range simulta-
neously. Some margin should be taken since although being short on the number of
agents will not prevent the system from working, it is not ideal.
The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 5. The default value is 1.
Maximum Number Of Registered Mobile Nodes
This parameter is the maximum number of terminals that can register with this 9150

home agent via this 9150 acting as a foreign agent.
The acceptable value ranges from 1 to 255. The default value is 128.
