Hand off a mobile router to a mobility agent in a packet-switched access network

A mobile router sends a handoff request message to a mobility agent, which request comprises a QoS parameter representing a QoS aggregate requirement for all the mobile terminals to which it is connected. Upon receipt of the request by the mobility agent, the access network takes an admission decision on the basis of the QoS parameter, and sends an acknowledgement informing the router of the outcome. If the mobility agent cannot handle all of said QoS aggregate, and thus cannot admit the router, the acknowledgement comprises an identity of one or more alternative mobility agents that might meet at least a part of said QoS aggregate that cannot be provided by the first mobility agent.
