Mobile IP Traversal of Network Address Translation Devices
RFC 3519, “Mobile IP Traversal of Network Address Translation Devices”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2003 by H. Levkowetz, S. Vaarala. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Mobile IP's datagram tunnelling is incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). This document presents extensions to the Mobile IP protocol and a tunnelling method which permits mobile nodes using Mobile IP to operate in private address networks which are separated from the public internet by NAT devices. The NAT traversal is based on using the Mobile IP Home Agent UDP port for encapsulated data traffic. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
