Abstract
A method for use in a communications network in which a Mobile Node accesses the communications network via a proxy node. An access control node receives attachment information from the proxy node. The attachment information relates to an attachment to the communications network of the Mobile Node and includes an identifier of the Mobile Node. On the basis of the received information, a Binding Unique Identifier is determined to associate with a Care-of-Address used by the proxy node on behalf of the Mobile Node. The Binding Unique Identifier is sent to the proxy node for subsequent registration with a mobility anchor function.
