Sorry, I don't understand what you meant here.

I think you are meaning the same thing as I said above (*).
Do you agree?

There's a discrepancy between (*) and your solution (**).

Are we talking about (*), (**), or something else?

>>> There is no discrepancy between them. I said "a new flag", just an
additional flag not intending to get a new sustained IP address all the
time. And it should not request a new sustained IP address whether there is
already one or more configured on the stack or not. It is given with the
same expression in the ticket, though our draft is saying the meaning of a
new sustained IP address, which will be revised in next update.

The point is that when the IP stack receives a flag with sustained IP
address flag, it will check it has a sustained IP address, and if it has one
or more, one that does not activate IP mobility will be selected. If not,
the MN will be triggered to get a new IP sustained address not activing IP
mobility.
