Foreign Agent Error Extension for Mobile IPv4

Overview

RFC 4636, “Foreign Agent Error Extension for Mobile IPv4”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2006 by C. Perkins. It updates RFC 3344. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies a new extension for use by Foreign Agents operating Mobile IP for IPv4. Currently, a foreign agent cannot supply status information without destroying the ability for a mobile node to verify authentication data supplied by the home agent. The new extension solves this problem by making a better place for the foreign agent to provide its status information to the mobile node. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
