Local Source Routing Based Route Optimization in Nested Mobile Networks

摘要

Network Mobility (NEMO) is concerned with managing the mobility of an entire network and included one or more Mobile Routers (MRs) which are connected as gateways to the Internet. This paper proposes a mechanism for route optimization in nested NEMO by using local source routing with uni-direction tunneling. Our scheme focuses on minimizing the number of tunnels required outside the NEMO when there are multiple levels of nesting. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is well adapted for supporting route optimization over existing NEMO's bi-directional tunneling scheme.
