In accordance with embodiments of the invention, Mobile IP binding information is used to deliver mobile terminating packets using layer-2 tunneling. When terminating packets destined for a mobile node are received by a home network for the mobile node, the Mobile IP binding is used to obtain the address of a foreign network to which the mobile node is attached. A Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol tunnel is created between the home network and the foreign network, and an outgoing L2TP call is made from the home network to the foreign network. A call is made from the foreign network to the mobile node, and a PPP session is established between the home network and the mobile node, via the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol tunnel between the home network and the foreign network. After the PPP session is established the home network can optionally assign the mobile node a private IP address, and translate the home IP address labeling the terminating packets to the private IP address. |
