In a Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) exists mobile nodes which have an unpredictable behaviour, i.e. they can join, leave and free move around the network. For this reason, a static network configuration is not proper for them. A distributed Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is needed due to the unavailability of a centralized server in a network placed over a vast extension. This report shows a Distributed DHCP for WMNs using IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6). It is fault tolerant, robust and durable. The algorithm was created using counters Bloom filters as data structure. After, a complete simulation of the system was done. The simulations showed that using 24 servers with 16Mbits of memory each one is possible to manage around 9000000 clients without adding an excessive network load. Therefore, the DDHCPv6 could be in a near future the host configuration protocol in WMN.
