Hi Jim.
I know very little about this as of yet but would like to know more. I'm sure someone here can help you out.

Hi everyone,
Over the past few weeks, several times I've posted a question regarding the
two types of care-of-addresses used with Mobile IP. My question concerned
what detemines which type of address is used and whether the type used is
something that's configured on the router or determined by some other means -
perhaps the software installed on the mobile client.
What surprises me though is that there hasn't been one single response! I
don't understand how that could be. I've searched thru both the Group Study
archieves and Cisco's documentation and found nothing addressing this
question. I also know that mobile IP is fair game for the lab, so I'm amazed
that this question continues to go unanswered.
And, though I can't understand why that is I've come up with 2 theories:
a) nobody knows
b) nobody cares
I can't imagine that nobody on groupstudy knows this - this is probably the
most knowledgable group of networking professional in the world - so let's nix
that idea.
Could it be that nobody cares? That's also hard to imagine. Everyday,
questions seemingly far more esoteric are posted and responded to. Besides,
there must be at least a few people who might need to implement Mobile IP in
the near future and they would certainly need to know about this. And, even
if nobody at the moment needed to know about this for work, most people on
group study seemed to be very intellectually curious So, let's nix this theory
as well.
Well, I hope this sparks some discussion, and maybe, in the process, generates
the answer to the original question.
What do you think?
Jim
