Project Overview
- Project Name: DHCPv6
- Student: Kavya Bhat
- Mentors: Tommaso Pecorella, Alberto Gallegos Ramonet, Manoj Kumar Rana

- Project Goals: The project aims to implement DHCP for IPv6 (DHCPv6), which is used in IPv6 networks for address configuration on devices, and allows for central management of the network. ns-3 has a model for DHCP, which is used in IPv4 networks for address configuration. In IPv6, stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) may be used, but this does not allow one to manage addresses of hosts in a network. ns-3 currently does not have an implementation for DHCPv6, and the aim is to add functionality for this protocol.

- About Me: I have just completed my undergrad at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (NITK). I am currently exploring the domains of operating systems and computer networks. I have earlier worked on the Neighbor Discovery protocol, and on IPv6 deployment in the university network.
