Transcript Network Mobility

NEtwork MObility (NEMO)
Houcheng Lee
Main Idea
• NEMO works by moving the mobility
functionality from Mobile IP mobile nodes
to a mobile router. The router is able to
change its attachment point to the Internet
in a manner that is transparent to attached
nodes

A mobile Network is a network segment or subnet that can move and attach to arbitrary points in the routing
infrastructure
The Mobile Router is the default gateway for the Mobile Network
A Mobile Network can comprise of nested subnets, but the overhead is heavy
A Mobile Router has a unique registered Home Address with its Home Agent. The Home Address is configured
from a prefix aggregated and advertised by its Home Agent.
When Mobile Router acquires a Care-of Address from Foreign Agent, it sends a Binding Update to its Home
Agent, and Home Agent creates a cache entry binding the Mobile Router’s Home Address to its Care-of Address.
If the Mobile Router Seeks to act as a Mobile Router and provide connectivity to nodes in the Mobile Network, it
indicates this to the Home Agent by setting a flag (R) in the Binding Update
Mobile Router MAY include information about one or multiple Mobile Network Prefix in the Binding Update
The Home Agent acknowledges the Binding Update by sending a Binding Acknowledge to the Mobile Router. A
positive acknowledgement with the Mobile Router Flag (R) set means that the Home Agent has set up forwarding
for the Mobile Network.
Once the binding process finishes, a bi-directional tunnel is established between the Home Agent and the Mobile
Router, and the end points of the tunnel are the MR’s CoA and HA’s address.
The packets sourced from MN are sent to HA through the reverse-tunnels which is done by using IP-in-IP
encapsulation, and then HA decapsulates the packets and forward it to the CN.
Before MR decapsulates the packets sent from HA via tunnel, MR has to check whether the Source address on
the outer IPv6 header is the Home Agent’s address, but this check is not necessary if the packet is protected by
IPsec in tunnel mode.
The MR and HA can run a routing protocol through the bi-directional tunnel. In this case, the MR need not include
prefix information in the Binding Update. Instead the HA uses the routing protocol updates to set up forwarding for
the Mobile Network. The MR should be configured not to send any routing protocol messages on its egress
interface when it is away from he home link and connected to a visited link.
