IPv6 Autoconfiguration in Large Scale Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile ad-hoc networks are infrastructure-free, highly dynamic wireless networks, where central administration or configuration by the user is impractical. The Internet Protocol IPv6 defines mechanisms to autoconfigure interfaces of nodes in wired networks in a distributed manner. In this paper, the applicability of IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration and IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol to large scale mobile ad-hoc networks is investigated. A hierarchical approach based on so-called leader nodes is proposed together with a leader election algorithm. Address autoconfiguration with IPv6 in very dynamic ad-hoc networks requires special support as, for example, outlined within this paper. Extensions to the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol are proposed to enable an efficient and scalable usage in ad-hoc networks.

Auto-Networking Technologies for IPv6 Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
This paper presents auto-networking technologies for IPv6 mobile ad hoc networks. The auto-networking technologies consist of IPv6 unicast address autoconfiguration, IPv6 multicast address allocation, secure multicast DNS, and service discovery. These technologies are based on IPv6’s inherent autoconfiguration facility, which can provide ad hoc users with automatic networking in IPv6 ad hoc env...
متن کاملAn address autoconfiguration protocol for IPv6 hosts in a mobile ad hoc network
A mobile ad hoc network is an infrastructure-free wireless network that is built on the fly. Since central administration or configuration by the users is impractical in such networks, autoconfiguration of network nodes is highly desirable. In this paper, we propose an approach to IPv6 address autoconfiguration in ad hoc networks, where we apply the IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration Prot...
متن کاملWireless Multihop Internet Access: Gateway Discovery, Routing, and Addressing
This paper investigates the interworking between wireless ad hoc networks and the Internet. In other words, we consider access to the Internet via a multihop wireless network. The heterogenous communication is established with the help of specific access routers, which serve as gateways between the two kinds of networks. We describe the network scenario and its basic protocol architecture. The ...
