But I must admit that I probably have to > check that part of your draft again. If it just invalidating the prefix, this can be done, true. But the point is that the DLIF concept enables to do more that just invalidating a prefix.

What you mention seems like a NAT-based approach, is it true? and if there is a dedicated router, isn't it a centralized entity? if the point is that that entity is closer to the MN (not deep in the operator's core), then I see that as a kind-of hierarchical-alike solution. > > > > > > > > > > Now I am deviating a bit, but into the direction of an important question: > > > That's directly related to the question of how persistent we need to > > > be about IP address continuity.
