Cisco Mobile Networks—Tunnel Templates for Multicast

The Cisco Mobile Networks—Tunnel Templates for Multicast feature allows the configuration of multicast on statically created tunnels to be applied to dynamic tunnels brought up on the home agent and mobile router. A tunnel template is defined and applied to the tunnels between the home agent and mobile router. The mobile router can now roam and the tunnel template enables multicast sessions to be carried to the mobile networks.

Glossary

home agent—A router on a home network of the mobile node or that tunnels packets to the mobile node or mobile router while they are away from home. It keeps current location information for registered mobile nodes called a mobility binding.

mobile network—A network that moves with the mobile router. A mobile network is a collection of hosts and routes that are fixed with respect to each other but are mobile, as a unit, with respect to the rest of the Internet.

mobile router—A mobile node that is a router. It provides for the mobility of one or more entire networks moving together, perhaps on an airplane, a ship, a train, an automobile, a bicycle, or a kayak. The nodes connected to a network served by the mobile router may themselves be fixed nodes or mobile nodes or routers.
