Network Mobility Route Optimization Requirements for
Operational Use in Aeronautics and Space Exploration Mobile Networks
Abstract
This document describes the requirements and desired properties of
Network Mobility (NEMO) Route Optimization techniques for use in
global-networked communications systems for aeronautics and space
exploration.
Substantial input to these requirements was given by aeronautical
communications experts outside the IETF, including members of the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and other
aeronautical communications standards bodies.

1. Introduction
As background, the Network Mobility (NEMO) terminology and NEMO goals
and requirements documents are suggested reading ([4], [5]).
The base NEMO standard [1] extends Mobile IPv6 [2] for singular
mobile hosts in order to be used by Mobile Routers (MRs) supporting
entire mobile networks. NEMO allows mobile networks to efficiently
remain reachable via fixed IP address prefixes no matter where they
relocate within the network topology. This is accomplished through
the maintenance of a bidirectional tunnel between a NEMO MR and a
NEMO-supporting Home Agent (HA) placed at some relatively stable
