This internet draft specifies an integrated routing protocol, based on the OSI Intra-Domain IS-IS Routing Protocol, which may be used as an interior gateway protocol (IGP) to support TCP/IP as well as OSI. This allows a single routing protocol to be used to support pure IP environments, pure OSI environments, and dual environments. This specification was developed by the IS-IS working group of ...

In this paper we present a deterministic protocol for routing arbitrary permutations in arbitrary networks. The protocol is analyzed in terms of the size of the network and the routing number of the network. Given a network H of size n, the routing number of H is defined as the maximum over all permutations on [n] of the minimal number of steps to route offline in H . We can show that for any n...

Wireless mesh networks is a type of mobile ad-hoc networks. In WMNs, all nodes are static or related with fixed position. WMNs have a default routing protocol, hybrid wireless mesh protocol, which is root constrained and tree-based proactive routing protocol. During reactive routing, it always initiates with PREQ broadcasting message. However, problems exist in this routing protocol, such as la...

We consider the effect of network topology on the optimality of packet routing which is quantified by gammac, the rate of packet insertion beyond which congestion and queue growth occurs. We show that for any network, there exists an absolute upper bound, expressed in terms of vertex separators, for the scaling of gammac with network size N, irrespective of the static routing protocol used. We ...

In this paper, we describe the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) [19],[20], a proactive routing protocol for Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs). We evaluate its performance through exhaustive simulations using the Network Simulator 2 (ns2) [1], and compare with other ad-hoc protocols, specifically the Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) [4] routing protocol and the Dynamic Source Ro...

Quality of service (QoS) based routing and scalability are two key features of multicast routing for the next generation Internetworks. This paper proposes a new protocol called QoS-aware hierarchical multicast routing protocol (QHMRP) that achieves scalability by organizing the network as a hierarchy of domains using the full-mesh aggregation technique. The protocol uses a novel reverse floodi...

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) [1] consists of a set of mobile hosts capable of communicating with each other without the assistance of base stations. The topology of ad-hoc networks changes rapidly. The Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) [2] routing protocol and other ondemand routing protocols suffers with many problems like delay and packet loss caused due to link break, time required ...

AODV is a well-known reactive protocol designed for MANET routing. All MANET routing protocols are designed based on the assumption that all nodes cooperate without maliciously disrupting the operation of the routing protocol. In this paper, we study the performance of AODV routing protocol in the presence of some of the well-defined attacks in MANET. We use NS-2 network simulator to analyse th...
