SINEMO: an IP-diversity based approach for network mobility in space

IETF proposed network mobility (NEMO) basic support protocol (BSP) to support network mobility. NEMO BSP is an extension of Mobile IP v6 (MIPv6), and inherits all the drawbacks of MIPv6 (like inefficient routing, high handover latency and packet loss rate). Satellites equipped with several IP-enabled devices are an example of network mobility in space networks. In this paper, we propose an IP-diversity based network mobility architecture called SINEMO, and show that SINEMO can exhibit better performance than NEMO BSP in satellite IP networks
