Abstract

The study of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) is commonly focused on how nodes belonging to the same network communicate by means of ad hoc routing protocols. However, when integrated into the Internet, the ad hoc routing protocols become insufficient, so additional technologies are required. In the IPv6 context, technologies such as NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol), which plays a fundamental role in automatically configuring the mobile nodes, were initially conceived to operate in on-link communications. This assumption is a clear restriction in multihop networks so the technologies should be adapted to these new scenarios. In order to provide a framework where these adaptations could be accomplished, several mechanisms have been proposed. All of them introduce an additional element that plays the role of the Internet Gateway. The characteristics as well as the functionalities of the Internet Gateway differ in the integration supports. In this chapter, the problems that arise in the integration of MANET into IP-based access networks, such as the Internet, will be described as well as the solutions that the research community IS analyzing.
