Analysis of NAT-Based Internet Connectivity for Multi-Homed On-Demand Ad Hoc Networks

چکیده
A prerequisite for a widespread and successful deployment of on-demand ad-hoc networking technology is its ability to provide easy access to the Internet. Existing solutions for Internet access are mainly based on modifying Mobile IPv4 (MIPv4). An easier approach, yet poorly documented in published material, is to implement Network Address Translation (NAT) on Internet Gateway nodes in the ad hoc network. In this paper we describe problems experienced by simulations of common NAT-based solutions under the condition of site multi-homing. Based on our results, we propose a working alternative solution for multihomed ad hoc networks.

Reducing Inconsistent Context Problem on Providing Internet Connectivity for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
This paper discusses a class of problem, called inconsistent context, .which appears due to the mobility of ad hoc nodes among multi-homed Internet domains, the ad hoc routing forwarding strategies, and the requirement of backward/ forward traffic of 2-way connection, e.g. TCP, which must be transmitted through the registered Internet gateways. Solutions are then proposed, which either reduce o...
متن کاملModeling of Network Connectivity in Multi-Homed Hybrid Ad Hoc Networks
A Hybrid Ad Hoc Network consists of self-organized and selfconfigured mobile nodes, which make use of a fixed gateway to connect to the Internet. When there are two or more gateways to the fixed network, this is referred to with MultiHomed Hybrid Ad Hoc Network. In this scenario, different networks are formed, each one associated with a different gateway. A node can maintain its connectivity to...

It is widely recognized that a prerequisite for the commercial penetration of the ad hoc networking technologies is the integration with existing wired/wireless infrastructure-based networks to provide an easy and transparent access to the Internet and its services. However, most of the existing solutions for enabling the interconnection between IPv4-based mobile ad hoc networks and the Interne...

In recent years, mobile ad-hoc networks have been used widely due to advances in wireless technology. These networks are formed in any environment that is needed without a fixed infrastructure or centralized management. Mobile ad-hoc networks have some characteristics and advantages such as wireless medium access, multi-hop routing, low cost development, dynamic topology and etc. In these netwo...
متن کاملA multi-gateway-based architecture for integrating ad hoc networks with the internet using multiple Foreign Agents
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are typically considered to be stand-alone autonomous networks that support multi-hop communication without relying on an existing infrastructure. The integration of MANETs and the internet extends network coverage and facilitates hybrid wired and wireless networking. Most earlier approaches, for integrating MANETs with the internet considered fixed gateways and ...
