An operational demonstration of a mobile network with a fairly large number of nodes

Abstract

The network mobility technology in the Internet area has been discussed for a long time and the specification has been finally published as RFC3963 from IETF. We had created an actual mobile network which contains a few hundreds of nodes to prove the technology works in a real environment.

In this paper, we discuss the detailed configuration of the mobile network and the problem faced during the operation
