Abstract

Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) is an important component of the address resolution protocols, which determines whether an Internet Protocol (IP) address can be used. In the traditional DAD process, critical information is broadcast through the network. This is a vulnerability that malicious nodes can exploit to mount attacks, resulting in failure to configure IP addresses. To resolve the issue, a new DAD process with variable-length prefix, DAD-vP, was proposed. With DAD-vP, prefix is used to indicate a specific range rather than the entire destination address being tested. This significantly increases the difficulty of mounting an attack. Simulation results show that when under attack, address configuration using the DAD-vP process has a much higher success rate compared to that using the traditional DAD process.
