In Mobile-IPv6, Mobile Node is dependent on a single Home Agent for 
the seamless roaming over the Internet. Mobile-IPv6 also allows  
deployment of multiple Home Agents on the subnet for providing 
continuous service to Mobile Node in case of serving Home Agent 
failure. But switching of service from the failed Home Agent to 
another functional Home Agent on the Home Subnet is problematic and 
the base Mobile-IPv6 specifications does not currently have
well-described solutions. This document aims to describe and 
illustrate these problems, and propose some guidelines for possible 
solutions.
