o DESCRIPTION OF THE BOF:
=======================
This BOF is a follow-up of the MONET BOF held at 53th IETF. It has
been renamed from MONET to NEMO in order to avoid confusion with
other IETF Working Group names.
Network mobility is concerned with situations where an entire
network, including a mobile router (MR), moving as a unit, which
changes its point of attachment to the Internet and thus its
reachability in the topology. The mobile network is connected to the
global Internet via one or more MR(s) and the internal configuration
of the mobile network is assumed to be relatively stable with
respect to the MR. Nodes behind the MR primarily comprise fixed
nodes (nodes unable to change their IP addresses while maintaining
ongoing sessions), and mobile nodes (nodes able to change their IP
addresses while maintaining ongoing sessions).
Network mobility is primarily concerned with managing the mobility
of the network, viewed as a single unit, when the MR changes its
attachment point within the topology.
The following configurations of mobile networks will be considered
by NEMO:
- A mobile network that contains both fixed and mobile nodes
behind the MR (e.g. a trains with sensors and mobile phones).
- A mobile network with a single MR that has multiple attachments
to the Internet (e.g. a MR connected to the Internet by means of a
802.11b and Bluetooth interfaces)
- A mobile network that is connected to the Internet via more than
one MR. (e.g. a car connected to the Internet via means of a
802.11b interface and a mobile phone)
- A mobile network containing MRs that are not directly attached
to the Internet (i.e. connected to the Internet via another
MR). This configuration is referred to as a Nested mobile
network. (e.g a PAN in a train).
The purpose of network mobility support is to provide Internet
connectivity to all nodes in the mobile network, maintain
reachability of such devices, and continuous sessions between those
nodes and their correspondent nodes (CNs), after migration of the
mobile network under a new point of attachment.
Details of the problem to be addressed by NEMO and ways to address
it can be found in the proposed charter available at
http://www.nal.motlabs.com/nemo/ (work in progress).
o GOALS:
=======
The purpose of the BOF is to explain the problem in more details and
to discuss the proposed direction of NEMO from the proposed
charter. The meeting also aims at discussing the requirements and to
assess agreement on the terminology.
