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