Abstract
A method for mobility management for a mobile node that establishes a connection with a first network while in a second network and traverses to a third network includes transferring location management information from the second network to the first network. An indirection path from the first network to the third network is established for data packets directed to the mobile node. The data packets directed to the mobile node are transferred using the indirection path without traversing the second network. This allows for the address anchor of the connection to remain at the second network while providing a flow anchor at the first network, which allows a direct flow to the third network.
