Abstract
This document is an analysis of multihoming in the context of network
mobility (NEMO) in IPv6. As there are many situations in which
mobile networks may be multihomed, a taxonomy is proposed to classify
the possible configurations. The possible deployment scenarios of
multihomed mobile networks are described together with the associated
issues when network mobility is supported by RFC 3963 (NEMO Basic
Support). Recommendations are offered on how to address these
issues.
