Overview In recent years, the development and the deployment of a multitude of wireless access networks, including IEEE 802.11a/b/g WLAN, IEEE 802.15 PAN, IEEE 802.20 MBWAN, or 3G WWAN have been witnessed. In this heterogeneous environment the IPv6 network layer is widely accepted as being the much-needed convergence layer to accommodate various kinds of technologies. Thus, mobility management procedures have been designed for the IPv6 layer, comprising the mechanisms for network mobility (NEMO) that support the mobility of entire networks. Moreover, the Mobile Routers that connect these mobile networks to the Internet will be equipped with several wireless interfaces, and therefore they have to make decisions about which interfaces to use for each mobile node or application.
