HEAT: Scalable Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks Using Temperature Fields

Overview Existing unicast routing protocols like for example AODV are not suited well for wireless mesh networks as in such networks, most traffic flows between a large number of mobile nodes and a few access points with Internet connectivity. This paper proposes HEAT, an anycast routing protocol for this type of communication that is designed to scale to the network size and to be robust to node mobility. HEAT relies on a temperature field to route data packets towards the Internet gateways, as follows. Every node is assigned a temperature value, and packets are routed along increasing temperature values until they reach any of the Internet gateways, which are modeled as heat sources.

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

If all packets are sent using IP, the shortest points between popular destinations can become bottlenecks making the possibility of providing time-delay sensitive services - such as video or voice - difficult.

Router holes 'threaten the internet'

In April 1997, a small Virginia internet service provider misconfigured its router, leading it to advertise that it was the best route to the entire internet. The border gateway protocol, a widely used technology for efficiently routing data...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
