network service provider (Home NSP), depending on his service agreement.
In the following scenario, the subscriber’s WiMAX Device cannot reach a base station owned by his
Home NSP (base station with NAP-ID = 1). The WiMAX Device uses ND&S and is able to access
another base station with NAP-ID = 2. This base station is associated with another service provider
(V-NSP with NSP-ID = 20). The subscriber’s service agreement specifies to route traffic from the
other service provider to the Home NSP, so the Home NSP authenticates and authorizes the
connection.
