NEtwork MObility BOF (nemo) Monday, July 15 at 1300-1500 ============================== CHAIRS: Hesham Soliman Thierry Ernst o MAILING LIST: ============= monet@nal.motlabs.com (should be rename nemo@nal.motlabs.com but please cntinue to post to monet@nal) General information about the mailing list: http://www.nal.motlabs.com/mailman/listinfo/nemo o WEB PAGE: ========= http://www.nal.motlabs.com/mailman/listinfo/nemo o DESCRIPTION OF THE BOF: ======================= This BOF is a follow-up of the MONET BOF held at 53th IETF. It has been renamed from MONET to NEMO in order to avoid confusion with other IETF Working Group names. Network mobility is concerned with situations where an entire network, including a mobile router (MR), moving as a unit, which changes its point of attachment to the Internet and thus its reachability in the topology. The mobile network is connected to the global Internet via one or more MR(s) and the internal configuration of the mobile network is assumed to be relatively stable with respect to the MR. Nodes behind the MR primarily comprise fixed nodes (nodes unable to change their IP addresses while maintaining ongoing sessions), and mobile nodes (nodes able to change their IP addresses while maintaining ongoing sessions). Network mobility is primarily concerned with managing the mobility of the network, viewed as a single unit, when the MR changes its attachment point within the topology. The following configurations of mobile networks will be considered by NEMO: - A mobile network that contains both fixed and mobile nodes behind the MR (e.g. a trains with sensors and mobile phones). - A mobile network with a single MR that has multiple attachments to the Internet (e.g. a MR connected to the Internet by means of a 802.11b and Bluetooth interfaces) - A mobile network that is connected to the Internet via more than one MR. (e.g. a car connected to the Internet via means of a 802.11b interface and a mobile phone) - A mobile network containing MRs that are not directly attached to the Internet (i.e. connected to the Internet via another MR). This configuration is referred to as a Nested mobile network. (e.g a PAN in a train). The purpose of network mobility support is to provide Internet connectivity to all nodes in the mobile network, maintain reachability of such devices, and continuous sessions between those nodes and their correspondent nodes (CNs), after migration of the mobile network under a new point of attachment. Details of the problem to be addressed by NEMO and ways to address it can be found in the proposed charter available at http://www.nal.motlabs.com/nemo/ (work in progress). o GOALS: ======= The purpose of the BOF is to explain the problem in more details and to discuss the proposed direction of NEMO from the proposed charter. The meeting also aims at discussing the requirements and to assess agreement on the terminology. o AGENDA: ======= - Introduction and agenda bashing 5 min - Charter discussion - 30 min Current draft charter available at http://www.nal.motlabs.com/nemo/nemo-charter.txt Hesham Soliman and Thierry Ernst - Terminology update - 15 min http://www.nal.motlabs.com/nemo/drafts/draft-ernst-monet-terminology-01.txt Thierry Ernst - Requirements update - 30 min Member of a reporting team - General discussion and opinions on moving forward - 40 min All
