More particularly, the method and system for provide a redundant Home Agent with the ability to assume the role of the primary Home Agent in the event of a primary Home Agent network, software, or other failure.

The Home Agents can be located in geographically separate areas to ensure that a network outage event in one geographic area does not cause subscriber services to be impacted.
