This document describes AMG, a mechanism for stateless
autoconfiguration of IPv6 addresses for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
(MANETs), connected to the Internet by means of one or more gateways.
Network prefixes are disseminated by Internet gateways and are used
by nodes to configure a set of global IPv6 addresses. An algorithm
is specified, by which nodes can choose the optimal address for data
traffic. Configured global addresses are also advertised to other
MANET nodes, to minimize latencies in case of gateway failures, MANET
partitions and mergers. The specified mechanism aims to be
independent from any particular MANET routing protocol and to
effectively exploit multiple gateways.
