Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are expected to become more
and more important in the upcoming years, playing a significant role in 4G networks.
In order to enable the deployment of IP services in such networks, IP
address autoconfiguration mechanisms are required. Although the ad hoc topic
has been a very intense research area, with a plethora of published papers about
routing, there is a lack of proposals of address autoconfiguration with enough
support from the technical community. This paper presents a mechanism suited
for MANETs connected to the Internet, reusing existing and widely deployed address
autoconfiguration protocols, such as DHCPv6 and Router Advertisements
