Unique Address Assignment and Dynamic Configuration of Node Traffic of MANETs

R. Sethu Madhavi, K Sekar

IP Address assignment is a key challenge in Ad hoc networks because it doesn’t have predefined infrastructure. Since most dynamic networks have frequent partitions with fading nodes and joining/leaving nodes, a distributed and self-managed mechanism is required by Autonomous Addressing Protocols to avoid address collisions. To reduce the control load and proactively tackle the packet losses and network partitions, a lightweight protocol that can configure mobile ad hoc nodes based on distributed address database that is stored in filters is proposed. This proposal considers merging of partitions, joining nodes and network initialization. This protocol deals with the resolving of collision of addresses, and the reduction of the control traffic, all the while balancing the load in an optimal manner
