Mobile IP Agent Discovery

Mobile nodes use the agent discovery process to identify whether they are on their home network or have roamed into a different network (referred to as a foreign network). Both the foreign agent and the home agent periodically multicast their agent advertisements. You can also request an agent advertisement from the mobile node through Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) router solicitations.
