Description

In a two-router network:

• Start node-1
• Connect a subscriber to node-1 with a mobile address
• Disconnect the subscriber (mobile address table is empty)
• Start node-2
  Observe that node-2 sends a MAR every second and receives an empty MAU from node-1. This will persist until another subscriber subscribes to node-1.

This protocol should stabilize immediately after the nodes synchronize themselves.
