Address Aggregation in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Overview Current Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) routing protocols operate with networks as flat address spaces, treating all nodes in the network as independent peers. However, these nodes are not always independent; they can form groups due to physical or environmental restraints. By taking advantage of these natural groupings, there is an opportunity to optimize the performance of MANET routing in these settings. This paper examines address aggregation in MANETs, focusing primarily on its ability to reduce routing overhead. This paper specifically describe the work necessary to implement address aggregation in the Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector routing protocol (AODV). The paper found the benefits of aggregation to be quite significant, reducing overhead and delay by 42% to 82% and 30% to 62%, respectively.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

But IP, of course, was not designed to provide a guaranteed quality of service (QoS) to the traffic it carries; it was originally designed as a way of diversely routing data to ensure redundancy in case network nodes were being jammed, crashed or...

Peter Cochrane's Blog: More wireless equals more wires

I have just been for an early morning walk in the mountains, and all the houses and cabins are served with overhead telephone and CATV via cables strung on poles. Bandwidth in the wireless spectrum is fundamentally limited, and so is the distance...

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.
