Discuss how the ICMP router solicitation message can also be used for agent solicitation. Why are there no extra fields?
Expert Answer
Answer:
The ICMP router solicitation msg can also be used for agent solicitation by a mobile host (MH) that has been moved to a new network. No extra fields are needed because the mobile agent is looking for information. The agent’s own address is already included in the message. So there is no need to include the extra fields
