Network mobility arises when a router connecting an entire network to the
Internet dynamically changes its point of attachment to the Internet
therefrom causing the reachability of the entire network to be changed in
the topology. Such kind of network is referred to as a mobile network.
Without appropriate mechanisms, sessions established between nodes in the
mobile network and the global Internet cannot be maintained while the
mobile router changes its point of attachment. The required support
mechanisms will be provided in two phases. The first phase, referred to as
NEMO Basic Support is to provide session continuity while the necessary
optimizations mechanims referred to as NEMO Extended Support might be
provided later. This document outlines the goals expected from network
mobility support and defines the requirements that must be met by NEMO
Basic Support solutions.
