Abstract
A method for allowing a Mobile IPv4 Mobile Node (2) to communicate from an IPv6 visited network (5), and across IPv6 networks, back to a Mobile IPv4 Home Agent (1), in a Mobile IPv4 Network (4), comprising a Mobile Node supporting Mobile IPv4 registration procedures including IvPv6 addressing details to support MN-HA communication; a Home Agent supporting connectivity to both IPv4 and IPv6 networks to facilitate remote access; tunneling of IPv4 traffic over IPv6 networks from the Mobile Node; and, tunneling of Mobile IPv4 traffic over IPv6 networks from the Home Agent.
