3.5. Mobility Addresses

Some nodes might support mobility using the concepts of home address and care-of address (for example, see [RFC6275]). Conceptually, a home address is an IP address assigned to a mobile node and used as the permanent address of the mobile node. A care-of address is an IP address associated with a mobile node while visiting a foreign link. When a mobile node is on its home link, it might have an address that is simultaneously a home address and a care-of address.

For the purposes of this document, it is sufficient to know whether one's own addresses are designated as home addresses or care-of addresses. Whether an address ought to be designated a home address or care-of address is outside the scope of this document.
