碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 通訊工程研究所 === 93 === The IPv6-enabled network architecture has recently attracted much attention. In this thesis, we address the issue of connecting MANETs to global IPv6 networks while supporting IPv6 mobility. Specifically, we propose a self-organizing, self-addressing, self-routing IPv6-enabled MANET infrastructure, referred to as SOMANET. The proposed self-organization addressing protocol automatically organizes nodes into tree architecture and configures their global IPv6 addresses. Novel unicast and multicast routing protocols, based on longest prefix matching and soft state routing cache, are specially designed for the SOMANET. Mobile IPv6 is also supported such that a mobile node can move from one SOMANET to another. Moreover, a P2P information sharing system is also designed over the proposed SOMANET. We have implemented a prototyping system to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the SOMANET and the P2P information sharing system. Simulations are also conducted to show the efficiency of the proposed routing protocols.
