Preﬁx Discovery

Preﬁx Discovery allows a Mobile Node to get network preﬁx information about its Home Network and to

conﬁgure its Home Address if needed. The Home Agent monitors preﬁx information from Router

Advertisement messages on the Home Network. The Mobile Node can request preﬁx information by sending a

Mobile Preﬁx Solicitation message to the Home Agent.
