Distributed IPv6 addressing technique for mobile ad-hoc networks

Connecting to the Internet through the nodes of an ad-hoc network is very challenging and necessary. We studied a MANET topology in which all nodes in this MANET need to be connected to the Internet through a special node called the Internet Gateway. Traditional IPv6 Duplicate address Detection(DAD) process cannot be applied for this topology without any modification. In this paper, we propose a stateful IPv6 auto-configuration scheme that can replace DHCPv6 for ad-hoc networks. Our simulation shows that this scheme is lighter and faster than DHCPv6.
