10.10.3) Foreign Agent Local Route Optimization
In Mobile IP networks, endpoint devices sending traffic through a single foreign agent must traverse
through a home agent router. Often the home agent is in a different geographic region. Sending the
traffic through a home agent may cause latency and unnecessary traffic across a mobile IP
network.

network.
The advantage of foreign agent local route optimization is that the Internet traffic between end
devices attached to a foreign agent now can communicate with each other directly using the foreign
agent router. Because the foreign agent router is further out the in network, fewer network delays
are experienced and traffic is optimized across the mobile IP network.
