Architecture and Mobile IPv6 extensions supporting mobile networks in mobile communications

Mobile IPv6 supports packet routing for hosts moving on the Internet, but lacks support for networks moving on the Internet. For example, a network comprising a set of hosts and routers in a train can be a mobile network. While the mobile network is moving, a router in the network changes its point of connection to the Internet. This paper proposes an architecture and Mobile IPv6 extensions that support packet routing for mobile networks. The proposed scheme enables any host on a mobile network to communicate with any host connected to the Internet.
