Mobile IP Traversal of Network Address Translation Devices

Overview

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]
