Abstract

IETF Network Mobility (NEMO) Basic Support Protocol is an IP mobility management protocol designed to provide seamless IP mobility to complete networks. This protocol is of crucial interest in vehicular mobility and it is being ap- plied in several research projects and initiatives which pre- tend to incorporate communication support to the trans- portation system. One of the problems which appear when including NEMO on vehicles is the need of incorporate net- work infrastructure to the vehicle with its associated cost in terms of money, space etc. On this work we present an implementation of the NEMO protocol specifcally designed to run on low end network devices. We also present the per- formance fgures of it running on a reference device, proving that its performance is enough to comply the requirements of vehicular communications.
