	Title		: Requirements for Ad Hoc IP Address Autoconfiguration

Ad hoc network has no built-in infra-structure for communication 
among mobile nodes and operates in a stand-alone fashion, or may be 
connected to the public Internet.  All the nodes in ad hoc network 
have the capability to maintain all the resources of the network in a 
distributed fashion.  One of the most important resources is the set
of IP addresses configured with an addressing scheme.  When a new 
node joins a network, it has to be assigned an IP address as part of 
its initialization.  Since ad hoc network's topology may change 
unpredictably, it is important to provide a resilient method for IP 
address autoconfiguration.  This document specifies the requirements 
for IP address autoconfiguration in ad hoc networks which have 
dynamic network topology.

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.
