Abstract
A method is provided for establishing a backup interface among multiple interfaces serving a mobile node, for a handover that is undetectable in advance. The invention methodology operates to cause a Foreign Agent associated with the multiple interfaces to keep a binding record of each of the multiple interfaces for which the mobile node has successfully completed the registration process. A novel Mobile IP extension is also added to facilitate the backup FA binding of the invention methodology.
