Title : IP Address Autoconfiguration for Ad Hoc Networks
Author(s) : C. Perkins et al.
Filename : draft-perkins-manet-autoconf-01.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 26-Nov-01
If a node lacks an IP address, it cannot yet participate in ad hoc
networks as currently designed, because the connectivity in an ad hoc
network is typically determined by mechanisms that depend upon using
the IP address as the identifier for the nodes in the ad hoc network.
In this document, a mechanism by which a node in an ad hoc network
may autoconfigure an IP address which is unique throughout the
connected portion of the ad hoc network is specified. Specifically,
mechanisms for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks, which are isolated from
Internet connectivity, are described.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
