A DHCP-based IP Address Autoconfiguration for MANETs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are expected to become more and more important in the upcoming years, playing a significant role in 4G networks. In order to enable the deployment of IP services in such networks, IP address autoconfiguration mechanisms are required. Although the ad hoc topic has been a very intense research area, with a plethora of published papers about routing, there is a lack of proposals of address autoconfiguration with enough support from the technical community. This paper presents a mechanism suited for MANETs connected to the Internet, reusing existing and widely deployed address autoconfiguration protocols, such as DHCPv6 and Router Advertisements.

Improving IP Address Autoconfiguration Security in MANETs Using Trust Modelling
Existing techniques for IP address autoconfiguration in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) do not address security issues. In this paper, we first describe some of the existing IP address autoconfiguration schemes, and discuss their security shortcomings. We then provide solutions to these security issues based on the use of trust models. A specific trust model is also proposed for use in improvin...
متن کاملIp Address Assignment in a Mobile Ad Hoc Network
A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) consists of a set of identical mobile nodes communicating with each other via wireless links. The network’s topology may change rapidly and unpredictably. Such networks may operate in a stand-alone fashion, or may be connected to the larger Internet. In traditional networks, hosts rely on centralized servers like DHCP for configuration, but this cannot be extende...
متن کاملSecure and Robust IPV6 Autoconfiguration Protocol For Mobile Adhoc Networks Under Strong Adversarial Model
Automatic IP address assignment in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) enables nodes to obtain routable addresses without any infrastructure. Different protocols have been developed throughout the last years to achieve this service. However, research primarily focused on correctness, efficiency and scalability; much less attention has been given to the security issues. The lack of security in the d...
متن کاملRAA: A Ring-Based Address Autoconfiguration Protocol in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
The problem for dynamic IP address assignment is manifest in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), especially in 4G all-IP-based heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a ring-based address autoconfiguration protocol to configure node addresses. This work aims at the decentralized ring-based address autoconfiguration (DRAA) protocol, which has the capability to perform low latency and whos...
متن کاملDetecting the Auto-configuration Attacks on IPv4 and IPv6 Networks
Auto-configuration is a mechanism, which assigns IP address, default gateway address and DNS server address to a node for accessing to the network. On IPv4 network, autoconfiguration is done by using DHCP protocol, but IPv6 network has two ways to assign auto-configuration information to a node, which are stateless address configuration by routers and stateful address configuration by DHCPv6 se...
