The main goal of any protocol supporting (PANs), Vehicle Area Networks (VANs) [1], Intelligent network mobility is to provide continuous, optimal and secure Internet access to all nodes and even recursively Transportation Systems (ITSs) [2], networks of RFID nested mobile subnetworks inside a moving network. For (Radio Frequency Identification) devices and sensors, and this purpose, the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) various mobile ad hoc networks [3] will have permanent has developed the NEtw
