The Internet is characterized by the coexistence of two Internet Protocol (IP) versions and multiple autoconfiguration mechanisms which are deployed targeting specific communication scenarios. This heterogeneity requires user pre-configurations, namely with respect to the proper autoconfiguration mechanism to be used at each time. On the other hand, future networks may imply that users own personal networks demanding self-configuration and self-management, and being part of very dynamic scenarios. In this paper we make a survey of the autoconfiguration mechanisms available for IP networks, and argue that a new solution is needed, so that the proper autoconfiguration mechanism can be selected automatically, dynamically and efficiently, and future communication paradigms can be properly addressed.
