Tunneling binding messages in registration messages

摘要

A method, system, and medium are provided for updating bindings associated with a first mobile IP session by tunneling binding updates through registration messages associated with a second mobile IP session. A first mobile IP client provides binding updates to a second mobile IP client, which includes the binding updates in an extended registration request. The extended registration request is communicated to a mobile IP agent associated with the second mobile IP session. The request is parsed, and the binding updates are provided to a mobile IP agent associated with the first mobile IP session. Binding-update acknowledgements can be returned to mobile IP clients in a similar fashion.

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method for performing a registration process corresponding to a first mobile internet protocol (IP) session associated with a first mobile IP client located on a wireless communications device having both a first mobile IP client and a second mobile IP client, the method comprising:
retrieving informational elements associated with the first mobile IP session from the first mobile IP client, wherein the first mobile IP session is an IP version six session; generating an extended registration request corresponding to a second mobile IP session associated with the second mobile IP client, wherein the second mobile IP session is configured as an IP version four session and the extended registration request is a registration request for the second mobile IP session generated by a tunneling module of the wireless device and the request comprises an extension that includes said informational elements of the first mobile IP session; providing the extended registration request to a mobility agent, the request includes the informational elements that correspond to the binding updates for the first mobile IP session; receiving an extended registration reply comprising an extension that includes binding-update acknowledgement information corresponding to the first mobile IP session; and providing the binding-update acknowledgement information to the first mobile IP client, wherein the second mobile IP client provides the binding-update acknowledgement information to the first mobile IP client via an inter-client interface of the wireless communications device.
