Patent ID: 8346268

Claim:
A method, comprising: detecting, via a home agent (HA) in a base station routing architecture network, intra-HA traffic; detecting an inter-Local Multimedia Access Platform (LMAP) packet by LMAPs when the LMAPs know each other's network prefix; initiating, via the HA, a binding procedure to establish a direct routing path between mobile points of attachment for at least two mobiles terminals to eliminate tunneling of all traffic through the HA; wherein the HA comprises a first HA and a second HA; detecting, via the first HA, one of a mobile node 1 (MN 1 ) to mobile node 2 (MN 2 ) packet and a MN 2 to a MN 1 packet; sending, via the first HA, a binding update to the second HA to give the second HA an address of a base station router 1 (BSR 1 ) for the MN 1 ; and sending, via the second HA, a binding update to a base station router 2 (BSR 2 ) to give the BSR 2 the address of the BSR 1 for the MN 1 .
