Why is MANET Address Autoconf necessary? Four basic MANET unicast routing protocols have been experimental RFCs. AODV, DSR, OLSR and TBRPF Next Step of MANET WG? Addressing is one of the most essential requirements in IP networking. Automatic IP address configuration is necessary in MANET experiencing dynamic topology changes. Various approaches have been suggested in the research domain Stateless vs. Stateful approaches Strong DAD vs. Weak DAD MANET WG has already included MANET Address Autoconf in its Charter. Therefore, it is time to develop MANET IP Address Auto-configuration from Engineering Philosophy. First of all, MANET WG should define the requirements for MANET Address Autoconf. |
