A method and system for supporting mobile routers in Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is provided. A mobile router obtains a care-of-address associated with an address configuration. The mobile router registers the care-of-address with a home agent. A bi-directional tunnel is established between the mobile router and the home agent. Packets are then forwarded via the bi-directional tunnel.

1.

1. A method comprising: registering, by a mobile router, a care-of-address with a home agent of the mobile router, the care-of-address obtained from a visited network and associated with an address configuration;forwarding from the mobile router to the home agent configuration information of a mobile network via a bi-directional tunnel connecting the mobile router and the home agent, wherein the mobile network is accessible through the mobile router;requesting that packets that include any address prefix within a set of prefixes be forwarded to the mobile router; andforwarding a packet from the mobile router to a mobile node on the mobile network, wherein the mobile node has a care-of-address that includes a prefix of a home address of the mobile network,wherein the configuration information is static and the mobile router is configured to send all outgoing traffic not destined to the mobile network, to the home agent. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration information is routing information. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile router obtains the care-of-address while attaching to the visited network, the visited network associated with a network address, the network address including a prefix, and wherein the care-of-address associated with the address configuration is generated by combining the prefix with an identifier that identifies the mobile router. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile router obtains the care-of-address by at least one of a stateless address autoconfiguration and a stateful address configuration. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising encapsulating the configuration information with a source address and a destination address, wherein the source address forms the care-of-address and an address of the home agent forms the destination address, and wherein the configuration information includes a home address of the mobile router. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, at the home agent, a packet that includes a home address of the mobile router; andforwarding the packet via the bi-directional tunnel to the mobile router. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising employing the home address to retrieve the care-of-address from a table included on the home agent. 8. A method comprising: receiving, by a home agent, configuration information of a mobile network;updating, by the home agent, a routing table wherein the routing table includes a routing entry associated with a mobile router that is reachable from the home agent;receiving, by the home agent, a request that packets that include any address prefix within a set of prefixes be forwarded to the mobile router;receiving, by the home agent, a packet;selecting, by the home agent, a bi-directional tunnel associated with the mobile router; andtunneling, by the home agent, the packet to the mobile router,wherein the packet is destined to a mobile node on the mobile network reachable through the mobile router, andwherein the configuration information is static and the mobile router is configured to send all outgoing traffic not destined to the mobile network, to the home agent. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising tunneling, by the mobile router, another packet to the home agent. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving, by the mobile router, the other packet from the node on the mobile network reachable through the mobile router. 11. The method of claim 8, further comprising: the home agent finding a route entry for the mobile network where the mobile router is listed as the next hop gateway; andperforming a lookup into a binding cache to obtain a care-of-address associated with the mobile router. 12. An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; andat least one memory including computer program code, the at least one processor, the at least one memory, and the computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to at least: obtain from a visited network, a care-of-address associated with an address configuration;register the care-of-address with a home agent of the apparatus;establish a bi-directional tunnel between the apparatus and the home agent;forward to the home agent configuration information of a mobile network via the bi-directional tunnel wherein the mobile network is accessible through the apparatus;request that packets that include any address prefix within a set of prefixes be forwarded to the apparatus; andforward a packet to a mobile node on the mobile network, wherein the mobile node has a care-of-address that includes a prefix of a home address of the mobile network,wherein the configuration information is static and the apparatus is configured to send all outgoing traffic not destined to the mobile network, to the home agent. 13. An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; andat least one memory including computer program code, the at least one processor, the at least one memory, and the computer program code configured to cause the apparatus to at least:receive configuration information of a mobile network;update a routing table wherein the routing table includes a routing entry associated with a mobile router that is reachable from the apparatus;receive a request that packets that include any address prefix within a set of prefixes be forwarded to the mobile router;receive a packet; andselect a bi-directional tunnel associated with the mobile router; andtunnel the packet to the mobile router,wherein the packet is destined to a mobile node on the mobile network reachable through the mobile router, andwherein the configuration information is static and the mobile router is configured to send all outgoing traffic not destined to the mobile network, to the apparatus. 14. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform at least the following: obtaining, by a mobile router from a visited network, a care-of-address associated with an address configuration;registering, by the mobile router, the care-of-address with a home agent of the mobile router;establishing, by the mobile router, a bi-directional tunnel between the mobile router and the home agent;forwarding from the mobile router to the home agent configuration information of a mobile network via the bi-directional tunnel wherein the mobile network is accessible through the mobile router;requesting that packets that include any address prefix within a set of prefixes be forwarded to the mobile router; andforwarding a packet from the mobile router to a mobile node on the mobile network, wherein the mobile node has a care-of address that includes a prefix of a home address of the mobile network,wherein the configuration information is static and the mobile router is configured to send all outgoing traffic not destined to the mobile network, to the home agent. 15. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform at least the following: receiving, by a home agent, configuration information of a mobile network;updating, by the home agent, a routing table wherein the routing table includes a routing entry associated with a mobile router that is reachable from the home agent;receiving, by the home agent, a request that packets that include any address prefix within a set of prefixes be forwarded to the mobile router;receiving, by the home agent, a packet;selecting, by the home agent, a bi-directional tunnel associated with the mobile router; andtunneling, by the home agent, the packet to the mobile router,wherein the packet is destined to a mobile node on the mobile network reachable through the mobile router, andwherein the configuration information is static and the mobile router is configured to send all outgoing traffic not destined to the mobile network, to the home agent.
