To put it in more Heinlein-like terms - TANSTAAFL!
Remember that this list is not a paid service. Sometimes, you get what you pay
for.
Mobile IP is still not as widely deployed as something like EIGRP. I'd guess
that the numbers are different by several orders of magnitude. So the chances
that you'll hit someone who a) actually knows something about Mobile IP, b)
reads your question, and c) takes the time to answer you - may not be as high as
you anticipate. Ultimately, complaining about it to the list may not be as
productive as opening a case with TAC or some other paid technical support.

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?
