HP-UX Mobile IPv6 A.01.00
IPv6 addresses are topologically correct, meaning IPv6 nodes attached to the same physical
network or LAN segment must have the same IPv6 network address prefix. Mobile IPv6
allows Mobile Nodes, such as laptops and PDAs, to change network attachment
points—remaining reachable at all times and with no disruption in network
connectivity—using a a single, fixed IPv6 address for extended periods of time. Without
Mobile IPv6, Mobile Nodes cannot use a single, fixed IPv6 address while they roam. Instead,
each time a Mobile Node moves and changes network attachment points, it must manually
re-configure a new IP address and default router based on its current location—temporarily
losing its network connections and ability to communicate in the process.

• server software—not Mobile Node client software
