| The network associated with the aggregation of one or more Home | ||||
| Network(s) and Mobile Network(s). As opposed to the Mobile IPv6 Home | ||||
| Network that is a subnet, the extended Home Network is an aggregation | ||||
| and is further subnetted. | ||||
| 7.8 Virtual Home Network | ||||
| The Home Network associated with a Virtual Network. The Extended Home | ||||
| Network and the Aggregated Home Network can be configured as Virtual | ||||
| Home Network. | ||||
| 8. Miscellaneous Terms | ||||
| 8.1 Idle MNN | ||||
| A MNN that does not engage in any communication. | ||||
| 8.2 Idle Mobile Network | ||||
| A mobile network that does not engage in any communication outside | ||||
| the network may be considered idle from the global Internet. This | ||||
| doesn't preclude that MNNs are themselves idle. Internal traffic | ||||
| between any two MNNs located in the same mobile network is not | ||||
| concerned by this statement. | ||||
| 9. Changes since draft-nemo-terminology-00.txt | ||||
| - NEMO will be used either as the concept for NEtwork MObility and a | ||||
| noun meaning "NEtwork that is MObile" | ||||
| - Added TMLR as depreciated term (everyone should use root-MR | ||||
| instead) | ||||
| - Added NEMO-prefix | ||||
| - Added NEMO-link | ||||
| - Added NEMO-enabled MR | ||||
| - Precision that IP address of LFN, LMN, or VMN is taken from a | ||||
| NEMO-prefix | ||||
| - Added abbreviation E-face (Egress interface) and I-face (Ingress | ||||
| interface) | ||||
| - Some re-ordering of terms, and a few typos. | ||||
| - Added some text from the usage draft [5] | ||||
