The concept of a Local Mobility Agent (LMA) which acts as a reference point
for the MN to the HA/CN seems to be fulfilling the same function as the FA
in IPv4, but I am unclear how latency is improved by "The MN registers back
with the HA using the LMA CoA, and anchors with the LMA as it moves in
foreign domains."

It would seem that the possibility would exist for the MN to switch LMA
anchors prior to the HA/CN effecting the CoA change.  Would it be possible
that the LMA could also be satellite based?
