Personal Information Based IP Autoconfiguration in Tactical Mobile AD-HOC Network

A lot of research has done on the area of IP autoconfiguration in MANET (mobile ad-hoc network) for the past few years and then resulted in various protocols. Those protocols mostly designed under the assumption of pure MANET. Hence, they are hard to reflect requirements needed for real situations or applications. In this paper, we design IP autoconfiguration protocols tailored for the applications based on hierarchical structure such as temporal military communication network system. We propose two IPv6 address and name autoconfiguration protocols tailored for dynamic battlefield situations and evaluate them qualitatively. Thereafter, we analyze their performances through extensive simulations quantitatively
