1. An ad-hoc routing protocol controls the routing of packet in MANET.
- 2. MANET, initially nodes are not aware of topology of network, they need to discover that.
- 3. An ad-hoc routing protocol can be classified
- a. reactive (on-demand),
- viii. reactive protocol types
- 1. AODV( Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector) Routing protocol
- c. hybrid protocol.
- b. proactive (table-driven) protocol,
- 2. DSR protocol
- 3. ACOR protocol
- 4. ABR protocol
- b. AODV is able to react quickly to the changes in the network topology
- a. AODV, route establishment takes place only when there is a demand for new route.
- c. AODV updates only the hosts that may be affected by the changes in the network by using the RREQ message
- d. AODV is capable of
- i. The RREQ and RREP messages are responsible for the route discovery
- i. Unicast routing,
- ii. broadcast routing
- iii. multicast routing.
- i. Reactive protocol finds routes by using the route request packet.
- vii. reactive protocols do not maintain permanent route table. , 1. Instead, routes are built by the source on demand.
- vi. One of the reactive protocols is AODV.
- v. Distribution of information is not required in reactive protocols
- iv. Reactive or on-demand routing protocols route is discovered when required.
- iii. Reactive protocol deals with two main functions
- ii. Reactive is a bandwidth efficient on-demand routing protocol for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks.
- 3. detection of link breaks repair of an existing route )
- 2. Route Maintenance functions(Route Maintenance function decide
- 1. Route Discovery functions(Route Discovery function decide discovery of new route )
- i. table-driven routing protocol, routing information is broadcasted by mobile nodes to the neighbors.
- ii. Each node needs to keep their routing table which contains the information of neighborhood nodes,
- iii. all of the nodes have to find their nodes in the neighborhood as there is change in network topology.
- iv. disadvantage of proactive protocol is when size of network increases, then overhead increases.
- v. The most familiar proactive type is destination sequenced distance vector (DSDV) routing protocol.
- vi. Other proactive protocol types
- a. reachable nodes
- b. the number of hops.
- a. DSDV
- i. (DBF) Algorithm was used successfully in many of the dynamic packet switched networks.
- i. sequence number, is periodically increased by two and it is transmitted along with other routing update messages to all other neighboring nodes
- b. (DSDV) Protocols is Table-driven protocol which is a modification in the Distributed Bellman-Ford (DBF) Algorithm
- c. DSDV, every node in the mobile network is required to send a sequence number,
- f. CGSR
- d. OLSR
- e. WRF
