REFERENCE

(draft-ietf-mobileip-ipv6-24.txt)

9.3.1 Receiving Packets with Home Address Option

   Packets containing a Home Address option MUST be dropped if the given
   home address is not a unicast routable address.

      (snip)

   If the packet is dropped due the above tests, the correspondent node
   MUST send the Binding Error message as described in Section 9.3.3.
   The Status field in this message should be set to 1 (unknown binding
   for Home Address destination option).

9.3.3 Sending Binding Error Messages

   A Binding Error message is sent directly to the address that appeared
   in the IPv6 Source Address field of the offending packet.  If the
   Source Address field does not contain a unicast address, the Binding
   Error message MUST NOT be sent.
