In mobile IP wireless data networking, methods are described for correctly
routing packets through a foreign agent to or from wireless nodes where
the wireless nodes have the same home network IP address. Instead of using
normal IP routing, the foreign agent uniquely identifies the wireless
node's home network IP address and home agent IP address with a PPP link
address associated with a PPP link between the foreign agent and the
wireless node. This association between PPP link addresses, home agent IP
addresses, and home network IP addresses, is preferably implemented in
software as a table stored in the foreign agent. The routing of packets
through the foreign agent to the mobile nodes is performed by reference to
the table. The table allows the foreign agent to correctly and efficiently
route packets in the situation where multiple wireless nodes are
registered with the foreign agent, but more than one of the wireless nodes
have the same home network IP address.
