Hi Ryuji,

First of all, thanks for submitting the draft.

Your draft seems to address the problem of the Internet-to-NEMO
communication and the NEMO-to-NEMO communication when nesting is
involved, using a MANET approach. I agree with you that in the
NEMO-to-NEMO approach, having the MRs in a nested-NEMO running an Ad-Hoc
routing protocol would help to avoid traversing the Internet and also
avoid the encapsulation. On the other hand, I don't see that clear how
this would help the Internet-to-NEMO, at least as it is now described in
the current version of your draft.

The draft says:

   "Additionally, this would also ease the Internet-to-NEMO scenario. In
   order to deliver an IP datagram to a node in the nested NEMO network,
   only a path to the access router between the nested NEMO network and
   the Internet would be required: once an IP datagram arrives in the
   nested NEMO network, the routing tables in the mobile routers, as
   provided by OLSR, would allow direct routing to the destination.
   Thus, there would no longer be a requirement to do nested encapsula-
   tion on each logical hop (i.e. each transversal of a Home Agent) in
   order to be able to decapsulate and correctly forward IP datagrams in
   the nested NEMO network.


   Thus even if no route optimizations are performed in the Internet-to-
   NEMO scenario, an overhead reduction can still be achieved through
   much lower encapsulation requirements."

How this improvements are achieved? If a CN in the Internet sends a
packet to a MNN that is connected to a nested-NEMO, the packet would
traverse the HAs of every MR in the nested-NEMO until the MNN is finally
reached. Therefore, I don't see how this encapsulation would be avoided,
without making any additional change to the MR and/or HA and/or CN. Am I
missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,

Carlos J.
