An apparatus forwards a communication request, which is directed to a home address of a mobile node and is transmitted from another node via a network, to the network segment to which the mobile node is currently connected. The apparatus includes a unit configured to store event information indicative of occurrence of the communication request from the another node to the mobile node, when the communication request is received in a state in which the mobile node is not connected to the network, and an informing unit configured to executes, based on the stored event information, a process for informing the another node via the network that the mobile node has become communicable, in response to a registration request for registration of the care-of-address, which is transmitted via the network from the mobile node connected to the network segment.
An apparatus for forwarding a communication request, which is directed to a home address of a mobile node and is transmitted from another node via a network, to a network segment to which the mobile node is currently connected, based on a relationship between the home address and a care-of-address used in the network segment, comprising:
A method of forwarding, based on a relationship between a home address allocated to a mobile node and a care-of-address used in a network segment at a destination of movement, to which the mobile node is currently connected, a communication request, which is transmitted from another node via a network and directed to the home address, to the network segment at the destination of movement, comprising:
