| 3. Functional Terms | 2.1 Mobile Network (NEMO) | |||
| As defined in [3]: | ||||
| An entire network, moving as a unit, which dynamically changes its | ||||
| point of attachment to the Internet and thus its reachability in the | ||||
| topology. The mobile network is composed of one or more IP-subnets | ||||
| and is connected to the global Internet via one or more Mobile | ||||
| Routers (MR). The internal configuration of the mobile network is | ||||
| assumed to be relatively stable with respect to the MR. | ||||
| 2.2 Mobile Router (MR) | ||||
| As defined in [3]: | ||||
| A router capable of changing its point of attachment to the network, | ||||
| moving from one link to another link. The MR is capable of | ||||
| forwarding packets between two or more interfaces, and possibly | ||||
| running a dynamic routing protocol modifying the state by which it | ||||
| does packet forwarding. | ||||
| A MR acting as a gateway between an entire mobile network and the | ||||
| rest of the Internet has one or more egress interface(s) and one or | ||||
| more ingress interface(s). Packets forwarded upstream to the rest of | ||||
| the Internet are transmitted through one of the MR's egress | ||||
| interface; packets forwarded downstream to the mobile network are | ||||
| transmitted through one of the MR's ingress interface. | ||||
| 2.3 Egress Interface (E-face) | ||||
| As defined in [3]: | ||||
| The interface of a MR attached to the home link if the MR is at home, | ||||
| or attached to a foreign link if the MR is in a foreign network. | ||||
| 2.4 Ingress Interface (I-face) | ||||
| As defined in [3]: | ||||
| The interface of a MR attached to a link inside the mobile network. | ||||
| 2.5 Mobile Network Prefix (MNP) | ||||
| As defined in [3]: | ||||
| A bit string that consists of some number of initial bits of an IP | ||||
| address which identifies the entire mobile network within the | ||||
| Internet topology. All nodes in a mobile network necessarily have an | ||||
| address containing this prefix. | ||||
| MNP is an acronym for Mobile Network Prefix. | ||||
| 2.6 NEMO-link | ||||
| A link (subnet) located within the mobile network. | ||||
| 2.7 Mobile Network Node (MNN) | ||||
| As defined in [3]: | ||||
| Any node (host or router) located within a mobile network, either | ||||
| permanently or temporarily. A Mobile Network Node may either be a | ||||
| fixed node (LFN) or a mobile node (VMN or LMN). | ||||

| 6. Mobility Support Terms | ||||
| 6.1 Host mobility support | ||||
| Host Mobility Support is a mechanism which maintains session | ||||
| continuity between mobile nodes and their correspondents upon the | ||||
| mobile host's change of point of attachment. It could be achieved by | ||||
| Mobile IPv6. | ||||
| 6.2 Network Mobility support (NEMO Support) | ||||
| Network Mobility Support is a mechanism which maintains session | ||||
| continuity between mobile network nodes and their correspondent upon | ||||
| a mobile router's change of point of attachment. Solutions for this | ||||
| problem are classified into NEMO Basic Support, and NEMO Extended | ||||
| Support. | ||||
| 6.3 NEMO Basic Support | ||||
| NEMO Basic Support is a solution to preserve session continuity by | ||||
| means of bidirectional tunneling much like what is done using [1] for | ||||
| mobile nodes. The solution for doing this is solely specified in [3]. | ||||
| 6.4 NEMO Extended Support | ||||
| NEMO Extended support is to provide the necessary optimization, | ||||
| including routing optimization between arbitrary MNNs and CNs. | ||||

| 8.1 Idle MNN | 7.1 Host Mobility Support | |||
| Host Mobility Support is a mechanism which maintains session | ||||
| continuity between mobile nodes and their correspondents upon the | ||||
| mobile host's change of point of attachment. It can be achieved | ||||
| using Mobile IPv6 or other mobility support mechanisms. | ||||
| 7.2 Network Mobility Support (NEMO Support) | ||||
| Network Mobility Support is a mechanism which maintains session | ||||
| continuity between mobile network nodes and their correspondent upon | ||||
| a mobile router's change of point of attachment. Solutions for this | ||||
| problem are classified into NEMO Basic Support, and NEMO Extended | ||||
| Support. | ||||
| 7.3 NEMO Basic Support | ||||
| NEMO Basic Support is a solution to preserve session continuity by | ||||
| means of bidirectional tunneling between MRs and their HAs much like | ||||
| what is done with [1] for mobile nodes when Routing Optimization is | ||||
| not used. Only the HA and the MR are NEMO-enabled. The solution for | ||||
| doing this is solely specified in [2]. | ||||
| 7.4 NEMO Extended Support | ||||
| NEMO Extended support is to provide the necessary optimization, | ||||
| including routing optimization between arbitrary MNNs and CNs. | ||||
| 7.5 MRHA Tunnel | ||||
| The bi-directional tunnel between a Mobile Router and its Home Agent | ||||

| noun meaning "NEtwork that is MObile" | ||||
| - Added TMLR as depreciated term (everyone should use root-MR | - Reshaped some figures. | |||

| - Added NEMO-prefix | - LFN, VMN, LMN: said that the node is able/unable to move while | |||
| maintaining/not maintaining ongoing sessions. Text already | ||||
| appareared in the document, but not in the definition itself. | ||||
| - Added NEMO-link | - NEMO-enabled: said that MR and HA are the only NEMO-enabled nodes | |||
| in NEMO Basic Support | ||||
| - Added NEMO-enabled MR | - Removed "NEMO-enabled MR" as this definition is self-contained into | |||
| "NEMO-enabled Node" | ||||
| - Precision that IP address of LFN, LMN, or VMN is taken from a | - Rephrased the definition of "multihomed host", "multihomed router", | |||
| NEMO-prefix | "multihomed mobile network" and removed the terms multi-addressed and | |||
| multi-sited, multi-rooted-NEMO, etc. Such terms were not so useful, | ||||
| and somewhat too long. | ||||
| - Added the case "multiple MNPs are advertised" to the definition of | ||||
| mobile network | ||||
| - Copy-pasted terms defined from RFC 3753 so that the document is | ||||
| self-contained | ||||
| - Updated References | ||||
| - Added new term "Correspondent Router" | ||||
| - Permanently removed NEMO-Prefix. Only MNP will be used | ||||
| - Added terms "Mobile Home Network" and "Distributed Home Network" in | ||||
| the Home Network Model section. These 2 terms were provided by | ||||
| Pascal Thubert on July 30th 2004 | ||||
