摘要：A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure-less, continuously self-configuring and temporary multi-hop wireless network, which is consisting of mobile nodes or group of mobile nodes. The topologies of the network can changes frequently due to unpredictable mobility of nodes. Ip addressing protocol is to automatically assign a unique network address to an un-configured node in the network so that it can communicate with the other unconfigured nodes in the network via multi-hop wireless links. In order to allow continuously and infrastructure-less networking, a protocol is needed for dynamically assign Ip addresses to un-configured nodes, because pre-configuration of addresses is not possible due to unpredictable mobility of nodes and every node must configure its network interface with a unique address in order to communicate with other nodes so that the packets can be relayed hop by hop and delivered to the destination. Ip address assignment in mobile ad hoc network is a challenging task. In recent years, various Ip addressing protocols have been proposed in the literature to solve this problem.
