Multipath routing protocols have proved to be able to enhance the performance of MANET in terms of reliability, load balancing, multimedia streaming, security, etc. However, deploying a QoS framework on top of such routing protocols is a complex task, requiring an appropriate QoS strategy to be developed and deployed. In this paper we propose an admission control strategy that can operate both ...

Today the Internet offers a single path between end-systems even though it intrinsically has a large multiplicity of paths. In this paper we present BANANAS, an architectural framework aimed at introducing multipath routing in the Internet. BANANAS uses the idea of a globally known path identifier, known as “PathID” to achieve source 1 specified, explicit, multipath routing in a partially upgra...

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a group of moving nodes which can communicate with each other without the help of any central stationary node. All the nodes in the MANET act as router for forwarding data packets. The nodes in the network also move randomly and there exists no fixed infrastructure. So, path breaks are the frequent problem in MANET. The routing protocol faces a lot of problem du...

The ever-continuing explosive growth of on-demand content distribution has imposed great pressure on mobile/wireless network infrastructures. To ease congestion in the and to increase perceived user experience, caching popular closer end-users can play a significant role as such this issue received attention over last few years. Additionally, energy saving is treated fundamental requirement des...

Link-independent and node-independent DAGs satisfy the property that any path from a source to the root on one DAG is link-disjoint (node-disjoint) with any path from the source to the root on the other DAG. To achieve resilient multipath routing, first introduce the concept of independent directed acyclic graphs (IDAGs). For a given a network, we develop polynomialtime algorithms to compute li...

In this paper, we consider filtering false reports in braided multipath routing sensor networks. While multipath routing provides better resilience to various faults in sensor networks, it has two problems regarding the authentication design. One is that, due to the large number of partially overlapped routing paths between the source and sink nodes, the authentication overhead could be very hi...

Multipath routing allows for load balancing and fast re-routing in order to improve the reliability and the efficiency of the network. Current IP routers only support Equal Cost MultiPath (ECMP) which guarantees that the forwarding paths do not contain loops. However, ECMP provides limited path diversity. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm that allows routers to enable more path d...
