Address Auto-configuration in MANET with multiple gateways: Analysis and measurement

Abstract

A mobile node who wants to access the Internet must be firstly configured a global IP address. An address autoconfiguration scheme used for assigning IP address to the mobile nodes in the MANET is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme works correctly and does not have the limitations of earlier solutions. This scheme enables the mobile node to configure a MANET-local address and then configure a global address. Then, we evaluate the performance of the solution through theoretical analysis and simulation experiments. Through the theoretical analysis and simulation experiments, it shows that our approach has lower latency and reasonable communication overhead. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the related future work.
