Abstract

This paper reports a demonstration of embedded communication systems on bicycles, and shows the advantages of Flow Bindings associated with the Network Mobility Basic Support (NEMO BS) protocol to distribute traffic along various paths. In June 2007 we demonstrated a new E-bike system by using the ANEMONE Mobile IPv6 testbed. In practice, three bicycles equipped with user terminals evolved on the university campus named Beaulieu in Rennes, France. All user terminals were connected to the IPv6 Internet via a mobile and multi-interfaced router with Network Mobility Basic Support protocol. This protocol included for the first time the Flow Bindings support in order to optimize the different network accesses. In this paper, we show why it is important to install flow policies on an embedded mobile network in order to distribute and filter applications according to the connectivity of the mobile network.
