Mobile IPv6 is a protocol enhancement for IPv6 that enables transparent routing of IPv6 packets to mobile nodes. Each mobile node is always identified by its home address, regardless of its current point of attachment to the Internet. While away from its home subnet, a mobile node is associated with a care-of address, which indicates its current location. Mobile IPv6 allows any IPv6 node to learn and cache the care-of address associated with a mobile node's home address and send packets directly to it using an IPv6 Routing header. The protocol uses Binding Update and Binding Acknowledgement options to manage cache entries for mobile nodes. These options conform to the existing IPv6 option mechanism. Mobile nodes register their care-of addresses with their home agents, which then intercept packets addressed to the mobile node's home address and tunnel them to the care-of address. Correspondent nodes can cache the care-of address and route packets directly to it, bypassing the home agent. The most important function for mobility is reliably notifying other nodes of a mobile node's current care-of address to avoid triangle routing. Triangle routing causes inefficiencies such as increased network partitions, load, and delay. Mobile IPv6 introduces Binding Update and Binding Acknowledgement options to manage cache entries and avoid triangle routing. The protocol ensures that each IPv6 node can cache and use the care-of address for mobile nodes, reducing the need for home agents and improving routing efficiency. IPv6 is designed to support mobility, with features such as 128-bit addresses, Neighbor Discovery, and extension headers. Mobile IPv6 uses the Routing header for efficient routing of packets to mobile nodes. The protocol allows mobile nodes to maintain their home address while moving between subnets, and correspondent nodes can route packets directly to the mobile node's care-of address. The protocol requires that all IPv6 nodes be capable of caching mobile node bindings, which is feasible due to the similarity of the Binding Cache to the existing IPv6 Destination Cache. Mobile nodes send Binding Updates to their home agents and correspondent nodes to inform them of their current care-of address. The home agent tunnels packets to the mobile node's care-of address, while correspondent nodes use the Routing header to route packets directly to the mobile node. The protocol also includes mechanisms for detecting movement and ensuring smooth handoffs, including router-assisted handoffs and renumbering of home subnets. Home agents tunnel Router Advertisement messages to mobile nodes away from home, allowing them to update their addresses. Correspondent nodes use Binding Updates and Acknowledgements to maintain accurate routing information for mobile nodes. The protocol ensures efficient and secure communication between mobile nodes and correspondent nodes, minimizing the need for home agents and improving overall network performance.Mobile IPv6 is a protocol enhancement for IPv6 that enables transparent routing of IPv6 packets to mobile nodes.
