Support for avoidance of unnecessary tunneling
A system can include an access router and a proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node. The access router can include a storage unit configured to store a local care-of-address. The access router can also include a sending unit configured to send the proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node the local care-of-address. The proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node can include a receiving unit configured to receive local care-of-address from an access router. The proxy mobile internet protocol aware client mobile internet protocol node can also include a processing unit configured to process the local care-of-address.
