The document outlines the Gateway Aggregation Protocol (GAP) developed for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) to enhance communication efficiency. The protocol addresses issues related to the selection of Internet Gateways (IGWs) to minimize changes in global addresses and reduce routing re-construction times. GAP utilizes a tunneling mechanism via IP-IP encapsulation, facilitating smooth communication between connected nodes and IGWs. This includes a structured process for address configuration, ensuring stability and responsiveness in dynamic network environments.

Problem statement • A node may select a different IGW for communication efficiency. → Configure a new global address using a new prefix. • Aim of GAP: • Suppress change in the global address. • Eliminate route re-construction time.
