Transport efficiency optimization for mobile IPv6
First Claim
1. A method for optimizing transport efficiency between a Mobile Node and a Correspondent Node in a Mobile IP network, traffic between the Mobile Node and the Correspondent Node comprising packets, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- assigning a short Mobile Node Identifier to the Mobile Node, using a Mobile Node Identifier Destination Option header comprising the assigned Mobile Node Identifier instead of a Home Address Destination Option header in subsequent packets between the Mobile Node and the Correspondent Node.
