Route Optimization (RO) is an emerging technique in the area of Mobile Networks (MN). Finding a best solution for the route optimization is still in research. The NEMO (NEtwork MObility) protocol provides network mobility and MIPv6 provides host mobility. A MN can have nodes with NEMO or MIPv6. The NEMO has more complexity in providing RO than MIPv6 in terms of throughput, payload, etc. Sometimes each and every node in the mobile network may not support RO. The nodes that do not support RO must be identified early in order to avoid excessive delay in setting up RO. In this paper, we have proposed a mechanism to reduce the delay in establishing RO by effectively maintaining a table that stores information about whether a node supports RO or not. In order to reduce the table size and search delay, information about RO support is stored in binary value. The outcome of this paper reduces time taken for fall back procedure that in turn reduces excessive delay in establishing RO. In general, it helps to offer better Quality of Services to the customers.
