Providing easy access to the Internet is a prerequisite for successful deployment of Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET). This paper proposes an Identifiers Separating and Mapping Scheme (ISMS) based Internet access solution for MANET, called ISMS-MANET. Firstly, ISMS, which is a candidate for the future Internet architecture, is briefly described. Then, how the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol can be used for connecting a MANET to the ISMS based Internet is discussed. In ISMS-MANET, the Access Router (AR) implements AODV protocol and works like a normal MANET node. The node in the MANET relies on the Route Reply message of AODV to find the AR. A prototype system is implemented. Performance analysis shows that ISMS-MANET has much faster handover and lower packet processing delay than the Mobile-IP based solution.
