Rick,

Can you describe what standard is used to change the IP address of the
mobile router's rf link back to the bus depot? I have a similar
problem involving a mobile LAN, not just a single mobile node, which
is what Mobile IP.

(http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~jain/refs/wir_refs.htm#mobileip-rfcs)
was designed for. Moving a whole LAN around means your gateway router
external interface's IP address is always changing.

For our solution, our developers hacked the Linux Mobile IP to support
IPSec for registration (of course, the advertisements are still
broadcast in the clear). What I'm not clear on is how they maintain
routing updates and integrity (I haven't seen that part of the code
yet). And my talks with Cisco indicate they're toying with different
methods of doing mobile adhoc routing, but this scenario is really
mobile infrastructure routing where the "access point" moves around
from cell to cell.

Any pointers on how you implement it would be appreciated!
