Abstract— IETF has proposed Mobile IPv6-based Network Mobility (NEMO) basic support protocol (BSP) to support network mobility. NEMO BSP inherits all the drawbacks of Mobile IPv6, such as inefficient routing path, single point of failure, high handover latency and packet loss, and high packet overhead. To address these drawbacks, we proposed an IP diversity-based network mobility management scheme called Seamless IP-diversity based NEtwork MObility (SINEMO). In this paper, we develop analytical models to analyze and compare the performance of
SINEMO and NEMO BSP. Our analysis shows that SINEMO enhances the performance of network mobililty compared to
NEMO BSP. We have implemented a testbed for SINEMO to support our claim of SINEMO’s high performance.

A mobile network is a set of IP nodes that move collectively as a unit. Space satellites, trains, or ships with several IP enabled devices are examples of mobile networks. IETF has recently proposed NEtwork MObility (NEMO) Basic Support
Protocol (BSP) [1] to support the mobility of a network. NEMO
BSP [1] is an extension of Mobile IPv6 and allows all nodes in the mobile network to continue ongoing connection while the network moves. In the NEMO BSP architecture, a Mobile
Router (MR) takes care of all the nodes within the Mobile
Network (MN). Mobile Router allows an entire network to roam; thus devices
