For an exam we are studying LISP Mobile (Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol) and we have asked to some researchers from a German University to send us their LISP simulator with Omnet++/Inet. Inside, we have found the following scenario which is very useful to us:
where we have a lispMobileNode multihomed with two wlan interfaces which receives UDP packets (in particular VoIP or video) from a correspondent node which is not mobile called standardHost. This scenario works perfectly as expected and the routers correctly implement the LISP protocol. Now, our teacher asked us to extend this scenario: in particular we should collect data with two handover/handoff among three different LISP networks and so have added the needed modules and the scenario has become like this:
The problem is that even if the lispMobileNode correctly connects to wirelessRouter 3 and gets a relative correct IP address after stopping receiving from wirelessRouter2, however this information is not forwarded to the LISP routers networks below and thus the UDP packets coming from the standardHost keep on being routed to wirelessRouter2. I am sure that there must be a problem with the .irt routing files we have written for each new component and so I am wondering if you can help me dealing with them because in my previous Omnet++ experiences I didn't need to manage with .irt files and so I am not an expert. First of all here are the files we have found in the simulator:

Please forgive me for the long post, I'm sure I'm making a silly mistake in those routing files but I can't find where. Thank you for your attention.
ps: if you want here you can file the complete source code of the .NED
EDIT: I have just noticed that the problem could be in the intial configuration phase. In fact, on the console EV I can read several messages of this type:

There are many of this message concerning 192.168.0.7 and at a certain point it gives up. In other words the PITR2 does not forward the MapRequest from lispRouter4 to MapServer and to the central router; instead, the PITR2 sends MapRequest back to lispRouter4. So there's something about that ppp0 on lispRouter4?
