NEMO Basic Support Protocol has several problems such as pinball routing, large header overhead due to multiple passes of tunneling, and a single point of failure. This paper proposes a protocol called
ν
LIN6 which supports both network mobility and host mobility in IPv6. In
ν
LIN6, packet relay is required only once regardless of the nested level in network mobility, while optimal routing is always provided in host mobility. A fixed-sized extension header is used in network mobility while there is no header overhead in host mobility.
ν
LIN6 is more tolerant of network failure and mobility agent failure than NEMO Basic Support Protocol. It also allows ordinary IPv6 nodes to communicate with nodes in the mobile network.
