ABSTRACT
The next-generation Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN)1 is an all-IP (Internet protocol) mobile communication network (abbreviated as ATN/IPS, here IPS means Internal protocol suite). It will also conform to the concept of e-enabled aircraft in the next 30 years.2 In the network layer, Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is selected as its mobile communication/management protocol. MIPv6 allows mobile nodes (MNs, here refers to aircraft stations) to remain reachable while flying around in the IPv6 network. Each MN is always identified by its home address (HoA), regardless of its current point of attachment to the network. While located away from its home, an MN will be associated with a care-
