=> I think you're certainly asking the right question but
perhaps to the wrong mailing list :)
If I understand you correctly, you're saying that while the
MN is at Home, if a new advertisement is received with a new
prefix, how does it know that this is not another foreign subnet.
Well based on my rusty knowledge of ND and stateless address
configuration, it doesnt know. But I don't think that this is
strictly
a MIP issue. While you're at home MIP does not do anything
for you. So that's why I'll cc IPng on this to see if someone can
give you a better answer, or maybe I missed something here.
BTW FA's do not exist in MIPv6.
