As of July 12, 2006, progress has been made in converging the drafts of the Address Dynamic Protocol (ADP) framework and associated scenarios into a single document. The initial document is ready and further comments are welcomed. Key constraints include managing wireless interface variability, topology dynamics, and new security concerns when relying on peers for autoconf. The framework aims to facilitate transitions between states and resolve address conflicts. We are actively developing the document, with a draft anticipated by mid-July.

MANET Autoconf Problem Statement July 12th 2006
Status • Problem Statement: converging the ADP, Framework and Scenario drafts into one single doc. • Initial document ready. • http://manetautoconf.online.fr/Blog/ • towards a 00 draft 17 or 18 July. • Comments are thus very welcomed
Constraints • Wireless interfaces : different characteristics • Pseudo-broadcast: prefix-per-link to re-evaluate • Dynamic topology: MANET partitionning, merging • Relying on peers for autoconf: new security concerns • (ref. Architecture doc.)
Considered Scenarios • Mobile ad hoc network w.r.t. the IP infrastructure: • Disconnected (i.e. Standalone MANET) • Connected with one gateway (i.e. Stub MANET) • Connected with multiple gateways (i.e. Multi-homed MANET) (Gateways may be themselves mobile)
Framework • Mechanisms needed for transitions between states: • To generate tentative addresses • To ensure “reasonable belief” in their uniqueness • To detect incorrect or conflicting addresses • To resolve address conflicts
Goals and Requirements • Goals: provide solutions for the needed mechanisms • Requirements: convergence time, overhead w.r.t. network size • Security considerations: need a threat model
Where are we at ? Initial version done Being developped in parallel with the architecture draft ? To de done
