Initializing a communication between a mobile host and a correspondent node

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a router able to cooperate with a mobile host of a home network for initializing a communication between said mobile host and a correspondent node over at least a first and a second networks, said mobile host comprising at least a first and a second network interfaces able to connect respectively to said first and second networks, said router being further able to:
attach the mobile host to said second network;receive a request for a communication address;transmit a communication address to said mobile host; andconfigure said mobile host with a predefined model indicator for enabling said mobile host to receive through its second network interface some data sent by the correspondent node towards the first network interface.;Embodiments of the invention also relate to a mobile host with which the router cooperates.

1. A router able to cooperate with a mobile host of a home network for initializing a communication between said mobile host and a correspondent node over at least a first and a second networks using a first communication address and a second communication address for a first network interface and a second network interface, respectively, said mobile host comprising at least the first and a second network interfaces, which connect respectively to said first and second networks, said router being configured to:
attach the mobile host to said second network; receive a request for a communication address; transmit the second communication address to said mobile host for assignment to the second network interface; and configure said mobile host with a predefined model indicator that automatically enables said mobile host to receive through the second network interface some data sent by the correspondent node towards the first network interface using a data address destination, wherein the predefined model indicator indicates to the mobile host to refrain from checking the data address destination; wherein the router is further configured to receive an instruction of configuration of said mobile host from a home agent of the home network; create a corresponding entry in a binding table between a home agent of the home network and the mobile host; and transmit a communication address and configure said mobile host altogether.
