The Internet protocol is widely used in communication be tween devices of different manufacturers. Ease of use is a key requirement for a wide deployment of small IP de vices like hand-held computers and IP-phones. This paper outlines an auto-configuration infrastructure that allows an IPv6 device to obtain a valid IP address in the subnet where the device resides, find the machines that provide standard services in an arbitrary internetworking environment, and dynamically configure end-user applications. This research presents a novel approach for both contacting mobile de vices around the world and automatically configuring net work services. Our proposal does not require changes in the end-user applications or deployment of new communi cation protocols, nor does it need wide availability to be useful.
