Abstract :
We propose a viral address assignment scheme for wireless ad hoc networks. In this scheme, a node has multiple addresses and each address of the node corresponds to a logical location of the node in the network. Further, addresses are allocated in a contagious fashion to mimic a viral growth. We study some of the issues in such a scheme
