Software Test Report for the Network Monitoring and Management Hybrid MANET Dynamic Addressing
Abstract
The objective of this applied research project was to create a service that allows mobile nodes in a hybrid MANET to receive global Internet Protocol IP addresses from the appropriate mobile gateway without requiring user configuration. A MANET is a mobile ad-hoc network communicating via wireless links. A hybrid MANET adds one or more gateway nodes (e.g. nodes providing connectivity to other networks via satellite or other links). A Hybrid MANET Dynamic Addressing (HMDA) service was developed which provides a method for gateway discovery and dynamic global IP address configuration of mobile nodes. This service will allow mobile nodes to roam seamlessly from one area to another providing continuous communications throughout all network merges and partitions. SAIC has successfully implemented and demonstrated the Network Monitoring and Management Hybrid MANET Dynamic Addressing service that meets or exceeds the requirements and objectives set forth by ONR. The HMDA service was demonstrated using two gateways and six mobile nodes distributed across two subnets. Since positive test results were obtained, it is recommended to transition this methodology from the lab environment to an operational scenario.
