RFC 3344 [1] describes the current version of Mobile IP version 4 signaling
and forwarding. The signaling and forwarding is conducted between a Mobile
Node and a Home Agent, via an optional intermediate Foreign Agent, for a
Home Address of the Mobile Node. The Home Agent acts as the Mobile IP
signaling endpoint, as well as the forwarding endpoint for packet tunneling
between the Home Agent and the MN Care of Address. This document describes
an alternative architecture in which the Home Agent is the signaling
endpoint whilst a new Tunnel Agent acts as the forwarding endpoint.
