Technique to Delegate Prefixes To Wi-Fi Clients Connected To Mobile Access Point Routers |
摘要 |
Methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media of the various embodiments enable a software-enabled access point mobile computing device to delegate prefixes to already connected local area network (LAN) client devices upon establishment or re-establishment of a data connection. The various embodiments may enable a mobile computing device configured to operate as a mobile router (i.e., a softAP mobile computing device) to support prefix delegation by providing unique IPv6 prefixes to connected LAN client devices. |

1. A method for supporting prefix delegation by a software-enabled access point (“softAP”) mobile computing device to a client device connected to a local area network (LAN) established by the softAP mobile computing device, comprising:
determining, by a router configuration module of the softAP mobile computing device, whether an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) data connection is established; generating, by the router configuration module of the softAP mobile computing device, a router solicitation message based on a link local address and client device identifier of the client device in response to determining that the IPv6 data connection is established; sending the generated router solicitation message from the router configuration module of the softAP mobile computing device to an IPv6 address management module of the softAP mobile computing device; and assigning, by the IPv6 address management module of the softAP mobile computing device, an unassigned prefix of a pool of available prefixes to the client device based on the received router solicitation message. |
