ABSTRACT:
Provided is a method and apparatus for assigning an Internet Protocol (IP) address using agents in a zero configuration network. The IP address assignment method involves: (a) receiving a registration request message of a user computer which contains a home agent IP address, and the ID and password of the user computer; (b) transmitting to the user computer an encoded address answer message which indicates permission of the address registration; and (c) setting up a network environment in the user computer by decoding the encoded address answer message. Problems of mobile IP extensibility and a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) authentication are solved by applying the concept of a mobile Internet protocol agent to the protocol in a zero configuration network.
