IPv6 stateless address auto-configuration in mobile ad-hoc network (T-DAD) and performance evaluation

IPv6 Duplicate address Detection (DAD) process cannot be applicable for MANET without modification either because of the multi-hop problem or DAD time bound. In this paper, we propose a stateless auto-configuration that overcomes multi-hop problem. We solve the multi-hop problem by having some ad-hoc routable nodes doing DAD for the new node that is willing to accept DAD. Once a host configures its interfaces, it becomes possible to communicate in multi-hop environment. We call this new scheme as Tunneled DAD (T-DAD).
