Subject: [mobile-ip] Request for information on Conceptual Data Structure

Hi all,

The text on "Sending Advertisements to the Mobile Node"
says that the Unique Identifier field of a Binding Update is
compared to that sent with the Binding Request.

Section 9.8.3 :
----------------
A Binding Update matches a Binding Request if it specifies a binding
for the mobile node to which the Binding Request was sent and contains
a Unique Identifier Sub-Option matching the unique identifier sent in
the Unique Identifier Sub-Option in the Binding Request.

Does this requirement make it mandatory for the Conceptual DS of the
Binding Cache to contain a field for the UID sent with the BR, to be
able to perform the comparison ?

Thanks for any information on this!

Regards,

- KK
