Gaurav Puri wites: If HA sends a BAck with Status 1 and with Refresh advice option, in that case i think MN should initiate MPS -MPA ahead of re-registration procedure. Assume that HA doesn't want to advertise MN's home prefix (with which binding has been made) any more. In this case if MN initiates re-registration first, that wont be useful as after very short time when it initiates MPS-MPA, it has to pick up new prefix from the MPA for making his home address and again it has to initiate re-registration process. Whereas if MN initiates MPS-MPA first , the initial (redundant) re-registration process can be avoided. --------------- Jari Arkko writes: I agree, but doesn't 11.7.1 already described very clearly that you should do PD before attempting a new registration? --------------- Gaurav Puri writes: very sorry!!! i missed that --------------- ---------------
