Abstract
This is a method and system to efficiently do handovers for mobile IP. The mobile node registers itself with several foreign agents using a new registration type. Only one of the foreign agents is selected to forward the data packets of a data message to the mobile node. The selection algorithm may be one based on randomness, dynamic learning, message traffic congestion, or statistical information collected at the mobile node.
