Abstract :
We present an architecture for ad hoc networks: Ananas. Based on the combined use of a classical ad hoc routing protocol and virtual ad hoc interfaces, Ananas allows a complete support for the IP protocol over ad hoc networks, including auto-configuration mechanisms such as the IPv6 one or DHCP. It also provides Internet connectivity and compatibility with Internet services and protocols such as multicast. Finally Ananas addresses problems of scalability and ad hoc network partitioning and provides very good performance results.
