MAAC Protocol: Mobile Agents based Address Auto-Configuration Protocol for MANET

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are multihop wireless networks of mobile nodes without any fixed or preexisting infrastructure. In contrast to infrastructure-based networks, MANET's topology change randomly due to the unpredictable mobility of nodes and their propagation characteristics and, thus, should be capable of self-organization and -configuration. Therefore, a protocol is needed to perform...
