	=> HMIPv6 was not designed to avoid CT. In fact
	the draft has always recommended CT. HMIP was
	designed to:

	1. Reduce the amount of signalling over the air

	2. Speed up the IP handover 

	3. Oprtimise the routing to the MN. 

	4.  Support mobile networks

	All these issues are not solved otherwise.
	CT doesn't solve any of these issues but certainly 
	helps a lot.
