Analysis of Critical Points for IP Address Auto-Configuration in Ad-Hoc Networks

The IETF working group's aim is to speed up development of the standard for the IP address auto-configuration in Ad-Hoc networks. Many studies have been investigated to complete an automatic configuration, but IP address auto-configuration remains an unresolved issue in Ad-Hoc networks. The approaches taken in these studies differ. We provide a framework to compare factors of Ad-Hoc networks. This paper arranges existing solutions in two categories and analyzes the critical points of these schemes.
