NSIS-based Resource Reservation for NEMO

Network mobility (NEMO) is concerned with managing the mobility of an entire network to change its point of attachment to the Internet and thus its reachability, efficiency and security. NEMO networks may lead to frequent handoffs between various access routers that are connected to the fixed network. Quality of service degradation or forced service termination may occur when there are insufficient resources required for handoff requests. This paper discusses a new resource reservation protocol called NEMOR, which create a virtual RSVP resource reservation tunnel between NEMO and the home agent (HA) aiming at supporting QoS guarantee in a NEMO context. For doing so, we use a generic signaling protocol called NSIS that may exploit advantages of both protocols: IntServ and DiffServ to provide a suitable QoS to NEMO.
