A method allows Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) nodes that use Mobile IPv6 for mobility management, or DHCP for address provisioning, to securely claim and defend their network addresses themselves or through proxies using the SEND protocol. The network node may also sign and verify a message that claims and defends a network address. The network address to be claimed and defended may be either autoconfigured or obtained from a server using the DHCPv6 protocol. If the MCGA is generated by a mobile IPv6 node as a mobile IPv6 home address, the MCGA can be securely proxied by the mobile IPv6 home agent after the mobile node has left the home link. However, if the MCGA is generated as a mobile IPv6 care-of address by a mobile IPv6 node while on a foreign subnet, the MCGA can be securely proxied by the current or new access router, before the mobile node arrives on the link and after it has left the link, respectively.

A CMTS or other data aggregation component having a DHCPv6 relay agent extracts a Media Access Control (MAC) address of an end device from a data packet received from an end device. A DHCPv6 data frame is created for transmission to a DHCPv6 server. The MAC address may be inserted into a specific option of the DHCPv6 data frame, where data in the option may not be processed by the server and are echoed back to the aggregation component or CMTS. The DHCPv6 data frame is transmitted to the DHCPv6 server. The component receives a response message from the server that may contain the MAC address or similar client hardware address as it was sent to the server by the network component. The network component may determine an outgoing port interface from which the response message should be sent, utilizing the MAC address and an interface bundling table. In this manner, interface bundling may be enabled.
