Abstract:
A system and method of changing traffic from a first access associated with a first access router to a second access associated with a second access router utilized by a terminal in a telecommunication network using PMIP. The method begins by the terminal sending a first message to a Local Mobility Anchor (LMA), through the second access router, requesting a change of access from the first access to the second access. The LMA receives the first message and installs a new routing state associated with the second access router and the second access. A second message is then sent from the LMA to the terminal acknowledging the change in access of the terminal to the second access. The routing state associated with the second access router and the second access is then installed in the terminal.
Abstract:
A system and method for generating a set of IP addresses (21) for access multi-homing in an Internet access network. A generating host (31) obtains from the network a set of IPv6 subnet prefixes (23) for a plurality of available Internet Service Providers, ISPs. The generating host generates a single IPv6 interface identifier (22) from the subnet prefixes and cryptographically binds the subnet prefixes with the single IPv6 interface identifier. A remote peer (51) verifies that all of the IP addresses belong together by independently generating the IPv6 interface identifier from the same set of subnet prefixes and comparing the result with the IPv6 interface identifier generated by the generating host.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for use in a Proxy Mobile IP communications network. An anchor point function serves at least one mobile host. The anchor point function generates an IP address for use by the mobile host, the address being generated using cryptographic materials owned by the anchor point function. The anchor point function can then perform signalling on behalfof the mobile host, using the IP address generated for the mobile host and at least part of the cryptographic materials used to generate the IP address.

Abstract:
In response to an ACTIVATE PACKET DATA PROTOCOL (PDP) CONTEXT REQUEST message from a host, including a global reachability request option that requests a global IP address and a global port to be allocated to the host, a serving gateway transmits a CREATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST message to an Internet gateway device. The CREATE PDP CON TEXT REQUEST message includes the global reachability request option. In response to a CREATE PDP CONTEXT RESPONSE message from the Internet gateway, where the CREATE PDP CONTEXT RESPONSE message includes a global reachability response option specifying therein a global IP address and a global port allocated to the host, the serving gateway transmits an ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT message to the host, where the ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT message includes the global reachability response option. As a result, the host does not need to establish a separate connection session to the Internet gateway device to acquire the same.
