Abstract
A method and system for selectively including a device-ID within a Mobile-IP registration request. A foreign agent, AAA server or other entity decides, based at least in part on a user-ID carried in a Mobile-IP registration request from a mobile node, whether to insert a device-ID of the mobile node into the registration request. In response to a decision to insert the device-ID, the foreign agent or another entity inserts the device-ID into the registration request and sends the request, including the device-ID, along to a Mobile-IP home agent.
