Hierarchical Home Agent Architecture for Mobile IP Communications (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Romdhani, I., Munoz, J., Bettahar, H., & Bouabdallah, A. (2006, June). Hierarchical Home Agent Architecture for Mobile IP Communications. Presented at 11th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC'06)

While the Mobile IP protocol does not exclude the use of multiple Home Agents (HAs), it does not impose any particular model either. Recent solutions propose that a mobile node uses multiple HAs located in different physical links in his home network...
