network administrator. The Home agent resides on the subnet for which
the client’s IP address is local.
When the client roams to a foreign subnet, it contacts a foreign agent on
that subnet, supplying its home agent address. The foreign agent con-

ent’s IP address first back to the foreign agent and from there back to the
client.
