Please Whitelist This Site?

I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)

If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.

If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.

Thanks for your understanding!

Sincerely, Charles Kozierok

Registration Reply messages are formatted as shown in Table 84 and Figure 133.


Table 84: Mobile IP Registration Reply Message Format

Field Name

Size (bytes)

Description

Type

1

Type: Identifies the registration message type. For a reply, this field is 3.

Code

1

Code: Indicates the result of the registration request. This field is set to 0 if the registration was accepted, 1 if it was accepted but simultaneous bindings were requested and are not supported. If the registration was denied, a different reason code is provided that indicates the reason for the rejection, as well as whether it was the home agent or foreign agent that denied it.

Lifetime

2

Lifetime: If the registration was accepted, the length of time in seconds until the registration expires. This may of course be a different value than the mobile node requested.

Home Address

4

Home Address: The home (normal) IP address of the mobile node when on its home network. Uniquely identifies the device regardless of how the request is conveyed to the home agent, so the message can be delivered to it if multiple mobile nodes are served by the same foreign agent.

Home Agent

4

Home Agent: The IP address of the device acting as the mobile node's home agent.

Identification

8

Identification: A 64-bit number that uniquely identifies the Registration Reply and is matched to the Identification field of the request that precipitated it.

Extensions

Variable

Extensions: Extension fields are included here for authentication of the reply. Other extensions may also be included.
