Much effort has been put into the development of routing protocols for route discovery and maintenance for the nodes in a MANET to communicate. The researchers in the routing area assume that all the nodes in the network are already configured to have unique IP Address in the network. Dynamic Address Allocation and Management is a very crucial and difficult problem in MANETs. Since there is no centralized administration and superior authority to guide the address allocation and distribution among the nodes, the IP address auto configuration is to be done by the individual nodes themselves. Research has been going on to avoid the address conflicts in MANETs using less complex methods that reduces communication overhead and best latency. In this paper we present a study of detection of Duplicate Address Conflicts that arise in an ad hoc network. KeywordsMANET, address conflicts, IP Addresses
