Mobility management system and method

摘要

A method and system for optimizing mobility routing are disclosed. A preferred embodiment comprises a first system of networks that comprise a home local mobility anchor and two or more distributed local mobility anchors, and a second system of networks separate from the first system of networks. Packets of data may be transmitted from a correspondent node anchored in the second system of networks to a mobile node anchored in the second system. Additionally, packets of data may be transmitted from the mobile node to the correspondent node.

主权项

1. A method of transmitting data, the method comprising:
receiving a first data packet at an ingress point of a first system of networks, the first data packet comprising a first destination address, the first system of networks comprising a home local mobility anchor and a first distributed local mobility anchor; intercepting the first data packet at the first distributed local mobility anchor and routing the first data packet to the home local mobility anchor; receiving the first data packet at the home local mobility anchor and, in response to the first data packet, transmitting a second destination address to the first distributed local mobility anchor; receiving a second data packet at the ingress point, the second data packet comprising the first destination address; and intercepting the second data packet at the first distributed local mobility anchor and routing the second data packet to the second destination address from the first distributed local mobility anchor.
