%0 Journal Article %T Autoconfiguration Algorithm for a Multiple Interfaces Adhoc Network Running OLSR Routing Protocol %A Saadi Boudjit %J International Journal of Computer Networks & Communications %D 2013 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X Network configuration is the assignment of network parameters necessary for a device to integrate the network, examples being: an IP address, netmask, the IP address of the gateway, etc ... In the case of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs), the connectivity of nodes is highly dynamic and a central administration or configuration by the user is very difficult. This paper presents an autoconfiguration solution for ad hoc networks running the widely implemented version of OLSR routing protocol, the 2003 RFC 3626 [1]. This solution is based on an efficient Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) algorithm, which takes advantage of the genuine optimization of the OLSR routing protocol. The proposed autoconfiguration algorithm is proved to operate correctly in a multiple interfaces OLSR network. %K MANET %K Autoconfiguration %K Routing protocols %K Multiple interfaces %U http://airccse.org/journal/cnc/0113cnc11.pdf
