Anycast Routing for Mobile Services

چکیده
This paper considers the problem of locating and forwarding network traffic to any one of a set of distributed servers or service points—primarily in the context of mobile ad hoc networks. The advantages of providing such a capability through the use of anycast routing techniques at the network layer are discussed. We then illustrate how several different classes of unicast routing protocols can be extended to provide efficient construction and maintenance of anycast routes. Extensions to link-state, distance-vector and linkreversal unicast routing protocols are all conceptually realized through the representation of an anycast service as a “virtual node” in a graph based on the network topology. The initial results of a simulation study, which demonstrate how anycast routing techniques can provide a one-to-any communication capability with greater efficiency than traditional unicast based techniques, are presented and discussed. The simulation results further indicate that anycast routing can ease the configuration and management required to achieve a given level of robustness and can reduce connection setup latency and message packet delay.

Prototype Implementation of Anycast-based Service Discovery for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Mobile ad hoc networks are self-organized, and devices in such networks have to locate available services dynamically. We propose to utilize anycast for efficient service discovery. With anycast, requests of service sent by clients can be delivered to the closest service provider. The Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol is extended to support anycast routing. We present a p...

Anycast is a point to point flow of packets for obtaining services or sending data to one of a multitude of destinations that share one address. To meet needs of real time and multimedia applications, anycast routing in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) must provide faster service with better Quality of Service (QoS). This paper proposes an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) based mult...

متن کاملService Awareness and its Challenges in Mobile ad hoc Networks
In mobile ad hoc networks there is no pre-existing network infrastructure, and the topology in such networks may be highly dynamic. This gives rise to various challenges to the network routing as well as to network applications. In this paper we discuss the issue of automatically finding services and selecting optimal servers in mobile ad hoc networks, and propose service awareness as a concept...
