Binding see Mobility binding.
Binding Acknowledgement The message to the
Mobile Node, in response to it’s Binding Update,
acknowledging the Mobile Node’s Binding Update
and indicating whether it was accepted or rejected.
The Binding Acknowledgement also includes a fixed
lifetime for the registration.
Binding Cache A cache of bindings for other IPv6
nodes that each IPv6 node maintains.
Binding Management Key (Kbm) Used to
authorize the Binding Update and Binding
Acknowledgement messages. The Return
Routability procedure provides a method to create a
binding management key.
Binding Update The message that supplies a new
binding to an entity that needs to know the new
Care-of Address for a Mobile Node. The binding
update contains the Mobile Node's home address,
new Care-of Address, and a new registration
lifetime.
Care-of Address (COA) An IP address which
identifies the Mobile Node's current point of
attachment to the Internet, when the Mobile Node is
not attached to the home network.
Care-of Test (CoT) Part of the Return Routability
procedure, a response to the Care-of Test Init
message sent directly to the Mobile Node from the
Correspondent Node and containing Binding
Management Key (Kbm) material.
Care-of Test Init (CoTI) Part of the Return
Routability procedure, a message sent directly to the
Correspondent Node from the Mobile Node to
initialize the Care-of Test.
CN See Correspondent Node.
COA See Care-of Address.

CoTI See Care-of Test Init
Correspondent Node A peer with which a Mobile
Node is communicating. A Correspondent Node may
be either mobile or stationary.
Encapsulation The process of incorporating an
original IP packet (less any preceding fields such as
a MAC header) inside another IP packet, making the
fields within the original IP header temporarily lose
their effect.
Foreign network The network to which the Mobile
Node is attached when it is not attached to its home
network. The Mobile Node's Care-of Address is local
to the foreign network and is reachable from the rest
of the Internet.
HA See Home Agent.
Home Address A single, fixed IPv6 address a IPv6
Mobile Node can use for extended periods of time,
regardless of its current attachment point. The
Mobile Node’s home address is a unicast routable
(global) address, with the network prefix of the
Mobile Node’s home network.
Home Agent A router node on a Mobile Node's
home network that captures packets addressed to
the Mobile Node’s home address forwards the
packets to the Mobile Node’s Care-of Address.
Home Network The network associated with the
Mobile Node's home address. IP routing mechanisms
will deliver data-packets destined to a Mobile Node's
Home Address to the Mobile Node's Home Network.
Home Test (HoT) Part of the Return Routability
procedure, a response to the Home Test Init message
sent to the Mobile Node—through its Home Agent—
from the Correspondent Node and containing
Binding Management Key (Kbm) material.
Home Test Init (HoTI) Part of the Return
Routability procedure, a message sent to the
Correspondent Node from the Mobile Node—and
through the its Home Agent—to initialize the Home
Test.
HoT See Home Test
HoTI See Home Test Init
IETF Internet Engineering Task Force.
IPSec IP Security Protocol that provides encryption
and authentication services for IP packets.
