Abstract: A route optimization system and method for packet transmission between particular nodes in a mobile network including a plurality of nodes. If a predetermined mobile router (MR) receives a packet transmitted from a predetermined mobile node (MN) connected to its subnet, the MR transmits the packet to its associated home agent (HA) through a previously established default tunnel. Upon receiving the packet, the HA adds registration information of the MR to the packet and transmits the registration information-added packet to a correspondent router (CR) of a correspondent node (CN) for which the packet is destined. The CR acquires registration information of the MR from the received packet, and forms a route-optimized tunnel for packet transmission to the MR according to the acquired information.
