Title : Gateway Aggregation Protocol (GAP) for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Author(s) : K. Mase, Y. Owada
Filename : draft-mase-autoconf-gap-01.txt

We consider Internet connectivity of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET),
where two or more fixed or mobile nodes (MNs) may have a wired or
wireless interface to the fixed Internet in addition to the wireless
interface for the MANET. The points of attachment of MNs to the
Internet are termed as "Access Routers (ARs)," A stationary MN, that
has wired connection with the Internet may become an AR itself.
Typically, only a single AR is used as the Internet Gateway (IGW) in
a MANET. Two or more IGWs may be used, but the number of the IGWs
should be kept to a minimim. This minimizing feature is named
"Gateway Aggregation." MANET routing protocol runs on the MBGs, and
both routing control messages and data packets of the MANET are
tunneled between an MN and its associated AR, between an AR and its
selected IGW, and also between an IGW and its peer IGW. The IGW
advertises the network prefix for the MNs to configure their global
care-of-addresses. An MN configures its care-of-address with the
prefix advertised by one of the IGWs. Once it obtains its global
address, it does not have to change it during its stay in the MANET.

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
Internet-Draft.
