If the CN supports mip6, the CN will send a BE message when it receives a packet which has HAO and it doesn't have a BCE. If the CN doesn't support mip6, the CN will send an ICMP PRAMPROB with code 2 based on the ICMPv6 specification. When the MN receives a BE message, the MN will re-start RR procedure. When the MN receives ICMP PARAMPROB with code 2 and the pointer indicates HAO, the MN will switch to use bi-directional tunneling. Is there any other scenarios? Please correct me if the above rules are not enough to support non-mip6-aware IPv6 nodes.
