1. A method for operating a network device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the network device, a packet addressed to a first mobile node at a first initial home address when the first mobile node is outside a home network;
accessing, by the network device, a location database to determine a current network for the first mobile node; and
routing, by the network device, the packet to the first mobile node in the current network.
