Abstract
The disclosed embodiments enable a Mobile Node to select from or prioritize two or more Foreign Agents using information dynamically provided to the Mobile Node. When a Foreign Agent detects a Mobile Node, it composes an agent advertisement having one or more fields including one or more parameter values. The Foreign Agent then sends the agent advertisement to the Mobile Node. The Mobile Node may then select one of the Foreign Agents, as well as prioritize the Foreign Agents, using the parameter values.
