A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Extensible MANET Auto-configuration Protocol (EMAP)
Author(s) : F. Ros, et al.
Filename : draft-ros-autoconf-emap-01.txt
Pages : 26

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks need an auto-configuration protocol being able
to satisfy their self-deployment requirements while remaining
flexible enough to accommodate special features for different
devices.
EMAP protocol tries to fullfil these requirements both for IPv4 and
IPv6 mobile ad hoc networks. It provides auto-configuration
mechanisms for isolated as well as hybrid MANETs, and is envisioned
to be integrated within unicast routing protocols (like DYMO [1] or
OLSRv2 [2]).
EMAP allows nodes to create a (highly likely) unique IP address which
can be used locally inside the MANET. In a similar way, nodes can
auto-configure globally routable IP addresses when one (or more)
gateways to the Internet are present in the network. The general
framework provided by the protocol may be used as a service discovery
protocol for MANETs. In fact, this document also specifies an
optional feature which consists on the discovery of DNS servers
reachable from the MANET, what could be useful when a high degree of
auto-configuration is desired. Therefore, EMAP has been designed
taking into consideration the possibility of extending it later on
with new features, uses, and optimizations.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
