In this paper we propose and discuss an optimized link state routing protocol, named OLSR, for mobile wireless networks. The protocol is based on the link state algorithm and it is proactive (or table-driven) in nature. It employs periodic exchange of messages to maintain topology information of the network at each node. OLSR is an optimization over a pure link state protocol as it compacts the...

We introduce optimization through protocol selection (OPS) as a technique to improve bulk-data transfer on shared wide-area networks (WANs). Instead of just fine-tuning the parameters network protocol, our empirical results show that itself can result in up four times higher throughput some key cases. However, OPS for foreground traffic (e.g., TCP CUBIC, BBR, UDT) depends knowledge about protoc...
