CA 2522193

A home agent preference control node gathers information regarding available home agents in a given network. This information includes both information regarding present availability and other information (for example, other information as may pertain the relative availability of one home agent with respect to another). The home agent preference control node utilizes such information to determine a respective preference value for at least some, and preferably all of the network's home agents. Following communication of a resultant list that comprises, at least in part, such preference values, the home agents are then able to respond to home agent discovery inquiries from a mobile node with this information. This, in turn, facilitates selection by the mobile node of a home agent that likely represents at least a relatively efficient distribution of system resources.
