Internet-Draft Scope-Extended Router Advertisement Oct. 30, 2008
Abstract
In the connected MANET, the MANET Border Router (MBR) is used to
connect the MANET with the external network and MANET nodes are
required to know the MBR address to communicate with hosts in the
external network. One way of acquiring the MBR address is to use the
Router Advertisement (RA) and the Router Solicitation (RS) messages.
In order to allow RA/RS messages to be delivered in the multi-hop
MANET, the modified RA/RS message has been defined [4]. However,
this approach may incur the duplicate packet reception problem due
to rebroadcasting of received RA/RS messages to its neighbors.
In this draft, we define the scope-extended Router Advertisement/
Solicitation message for announcing/solicitating the MBR address in
the connected MANET. In the scope-extended RA/RS message, a new
message field, the sequence number field, is defined so that
duplicate RA/RS messages can be detected based on the sequence
number and the MBR address included in the message.

Internet-Draft Scope-Extended Router Advertisement Oct. 30, 2008
1. Introduction
The mobile ad hoc network (MANET) enabls mobile nodes to communicate
cia multiple wireless hops without the need of any wired
infrastructure[1]. in a MANET, two nodes not within their
transmission range have to deliver data to each other through other
intermediate nodes. For forwarding packets destined to other nodes,
each node mush have the routing capability, i.e., the mechanism for
establishing data delivery routes between any pair of source and
destination nodes, as well as acting as a source and/or a destination
node(s). In addition to that, the IP address auto-configuration
mechanism suitable for the MANET environment is required.
The MANET ca be classified into the autonomous MANET and the
subordinate MANET. For the subordinate MANET, the MANET Border Router
(MBR) which acts as the gateway connecting the MANET with the
Internet has been defined. Through the MBR, MANET nodes can
communicate with hosts located in the Internet. Therefore, MANET
nodes have to know the MBR address. Moreover IP address assigned to
the MANET node should be suitable to the Internet topology.
In other words, nodes within the MANET should have the IP address
with the same network prefix.
One way of obtaing the MBR address and network prefix is to use the
Router Advertisement (RA) and Router Solicitation (RS) messages[2-3].
However, there RA and RS messages are delivered only upto 1 hop, so
can not be used in a multi-hop wireless networks such as the MANET.
In order to overcome this limitation, the modified RA message has
been defined for the multi-hop wireless MANET[4]. However, in this
approach, the duplicate packet reception problem can occur since,
if a node broadcasts a RA/RS message, it can receive the same RA/RS
message which was re-broadcasted by one of its neighbors.
In this draft, we define the scope-extended Router Advertisement/
Solicitation message for announcing/solicitating the MBR address in
the connected MANET. In the scope-extended RA/RS message, a new
message field, the sequence number field, is defined so that
duplicate RA/RS messages can be detected based on the sequence
number and the IP address included in the message.
2. Terminology
No new terminology is defined in this draft.
