A mobile terminal, comprising:
- an Internet Protocol (IP) address module that requests and receives a first IP address from a home anchoring point within a home network, wherein said first IP address is an address of said home anchoring point;
- and
- a packet module that exchanges packets with said home anchoring point via a first attachment point, wherein said packets include said first IP address.
A home anchoring point within a home network, comprising:
- a public address module that selectively provides a public address for the home anchoring point in response to selection of the home anchoring point by a device of the home network, wherein said selection is based on a private address for the home anchoring point, wherein said public address is requested by and is directly addressable by a mobile terminal;
- and
- a packet module that exchanges packets with said mobile terminal, wherein said packets include said public address.
A method for operating a mobile terminal, comprising:
- requesting a first Internet protocol (IP) address from a home anchoring point within a home network;
- receiving said first IP address from said home anchoring point, wherein said first IP address is an address of said home anchoring point;
