Abstract:
A networking device includes a tunneling module, a mobility agent module, and a wireless network interface that establishes a wireless link with a wireless client terminal. The tunneling module establishes first and second tunnels with first and second local mobility anchors, respectively. The first and second local mobility anchors are associated with first and second packet data networks, respectively. The mobility agent module stores a mapping of a plurality of addresses respectively assigned to local mobility anchors. The mapping maps a first address to the first local mobility anchor and a second address to the second local mobility anchor. In response to receiving a first packet from the wireless client terminal, the mobility agent module identifies, based on a source address of the first packet, a selected local mobility anchor from the mapping. The tunneling module tunnels the first packet from the networking device to the selected local mobility anchor.
