Abstract

This paper addresses the problems of routing datagrams to nodes located in an IPv6 mobile network. A mobile network is a network that is changing its point of attachment dynamically such as a network deployed in an aircraft, a boat, or a car. The IETF Mobile-IPv6 protocol that has been developed to support mobile nodes is unable to support mobile networks efficiently. In fact, we show that Mobile-IPv6 would not scale and would introduce some authentication problems. This paper proposes a solution that combines multicast routing with Mobile-IPv6 to support mobile networks in the Internet
