Autoconfiguration technologies for IPv6 multicast service in mobile ad-hoc networks

This paper presents the autoconfiguration technologies that can be used for the service of multicast applications such as video conferencing in IPv6-based mobile ad-hoc networks. Because the mobile node can configure a unicast address through IPv6 unicast address autoconfiguration and some applications that need multicast address allocation can get a unique multicast address through IPv6 multicast address autoconfiguration, the user of a mobile node can use some types of multicast services easily with zero configuration.
