Use of anycast service can considerably simplify many communication applications. Two approaches can be used for rout ing anycast packets. Single-path routing always uses the same path for anycast packets from a source, while multipath routing splits anycast traffic into several different paths. The former is simple and easy to implement, while the latter may potentially reduce congestion, impr...

Mobile ad-hoc network is an infrastructure less network that is consisting of mobile nodes which communicate with each other via wireless links. This network is self-configuring, decentralized. In MANET’s all participating nodes act as router and these nodes are free to move randomly. In MANET, transmission failure occurs due to several reasons, such as node mobility, energy deficiency. In mult...

Researchers has been developed various routing protocols for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). Each protocol proposed and designed so far has its own merits and demerits. Researchers are trying continuously to develop advance routing protocols that can route messages towards their destination in an efficient way while consuming minimum amount of bandwidth and battery. In this work we are conside...

In recent years the growing proliferation of small wireless devices able to maintain wireless communications using IEEE 802.11 technologies has enabled the deployment of MANETs (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks). This fact has stimulated the demand of multimedia services over this type of networks, such as video-streaming services. Providing QoS in this environment is a challenging task due to the inhere...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks are characterized by multi-hop wireless links, without any infrastructure, and frequent host mobility. A plethora of routing protocols has been proposed. A class of routing protocols called ondemand protocols has recently gained attention because of their efficiency and low routing overhead. As the mobile nodes in the network work on low power batteries, the need to take ...

Transmission over wireless ad hoc networks is a challenging problem, because the wireless channel is characterized by limited bandwidth, multihop connectivity, mobility of nodes, and dynamically varying network topology. Current unipath routing protocols result in performance degradation in mobile networks due to unreliability of the wireless infrastructure and mobility of nodes. Multipath rout...

Multipath routing has been extended to Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the current de facto inter-domain routing protocol, to address the reliability and performance issues of the current Internet. However, inter-domain multipath routing introduces a significant challenge for scalability due to the large scale of the inter-domain routing system. At the same time it also introduces new challenges...
