PACMAN

• Kornél Réti
• Robbert Ottenhof

2

• Distributed Address Assigning since no
  infrastructure is available
• Each node assigns itself an address
• Check uniqueness via DAD

3

• Merging of different networks
• Many address assignments at the same moment
• High probability of duplicate addresses

4

• Research Proposal
• Determine significance of merging problem
• Simulate merging
• Examine reaction of PACMAN
• Compare performance PACMAN to other solutions
  like query-based DAD, weak DAD and MANETconf.
