Abstract
When mobile node is connected to an access point outside the private network, a tunnel is formed between the mobile node and a home agent on the private network for the transfer of packets. When, the mobile node roams into a region accessible to the private network, the mobile node is connected to the private network using a private network access point while maintaining the tunnel between the mobile node and the home agent.
