Multi-homed networks based on IPv6 form an important architecture within
the NEMO (NEtwork MObility) configurations. Mainly in these networks the
Mobile Router (MR) can appear in the neighbourhood of several Access
Routers (ARs). In this case, MR has several egress interfaces and can
detect several ARs simultaneously. This draft introduces a protocol that
achieves handoff and resource management in a NEMO network in the case of
multi-homed MR. We called this protocol an HRMMN protocol (Handoff and
Resource Management for Multi-homed Networks). We introduce into the NEMO
architecture an intelligent control entity called Access Router Controller
(ARC). Based on traffic information transmitted through several ARs under
the control of specific ARC, this latter is responsible of taking decisions
about handoff, resource management and maintain of multiple bidirectional
tunnels.
