IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration

Abstract

This document specifies the steps a host takes in deciding how to autoconfigure its interfaces in IP version 6. The autoconfiguration process includes creating a link-local address and verifying its uniqueness on a link, determining what information should be autoconfigured (addresses, other information, or both), and in the case of addresses, whether they should be obtained through the stateless mechanism, the stateful mechanism, or both. This document defines the process for generating a link-local address, the process for generating site-local and global addresses via stateless address autoconfiguration, and the Duplicate Address Detection procedure. The details of autoconfiguration using the stateful protocol are specified elsewhere.

A novel and efficient address configuration for MANET

“…Based on this idea, we use the Hash function to construct MANET ID, as shown in formula (3). Each configured node acquires the MANET ID via formula (3).…”

“…Based on this idea, we use the Hash function to construct MANET ID, as shown in formula (3). Each configured node acquires the MANET ID via formula (3). Because the network prefixes and allocation variables of all the configured nodes in MANET are the same, their MANET IDs are equal.…”

The Binding Operation for Mobile IPv6

“…By the searching function of router in IPv6 the mobile node determines its location [3].Two kinds of packet are defined in the router searching function: router broadcast (option type =133) and router request (option type=134). The router broadcast packet is sendperiodicallyon the lin k road by the IPv6 router, and then the mobile node receives the packet periodically.…”

Engaging with IPv6: addresses for all

“…The devices utilised in this primary test were 6 years old and were chosen due to the age of the network hardware in an attempt to identify any inherent issues with the Stateless Address Auto Configuration (SLAAC) [6] deployment being considered.…”
