Reverse Tunneling in Mobile IP

Reverse tunneling is a vital process in mobile IP that allows mobile devices to communicate securely with network routers, even under access filters. It establishes a secure connection from the mobile device's care-of address to the home agent, ensuring proper data packet routing. This technique enhances security, simplifies firewall management, and facilitates VPN access for mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
