RFC 5177: Network Mobility (NEMO) Extensions for Mobile IPv4

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 6626. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes a protocol for supporting Mobile Networks between a Mobile Router and a Home Agent by extending the Mobile IPv4 protocol. A Mobile Router is responsible for the mobility of one or more network segments or subnets moving together. The Mobile Router hides its mobility from the nodes on the Mobile Network. The nodes on the Mobile Network may be fixed in relationship to the Mobile Router and may not have any mobility function. Extensions to Mobile IPv4 are introduced to support Mobile Networks.
