Considerations of multiple network interface for a mobile node

This paper specifies an analysis of multiple interfaces in a mobile node using mobile IPv6 or a mobile node using NEMO basic support. The current mobile IPv6 and NEMO basic support are suitable for a single network interface. When a mobile node or a mobile router has multiple network interfaces, the current mobile IPv6 and NEMO basic support cannot directly be used for them. In this paper, we discuss how to solve the problems of multiple interfaces in a mobile node and propose a virtual network interface model which describes the use of mobile IPv6/NEMO basic support to support multiple network interfaces in a mobile node/mobile router.
