An anycast-based P2P routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks

摘要

With the increasing popularity of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), it becomes a challenge to integrate peer-to-peer (P2P) technique into MANETs efficiently. This paper proposes to integrate anycast routing technique to mobile P2P networks to reduce overhead and optimize query lookup service. We propose a novel anycast-based mobile P2P routing protocol for MANETs, called AMPP, which integrates Chord and anycast routing protocol at the network layer in highly dynamic MANETs. Our simulation results show that integrating anycast routing technique to mobile P2P network can reduce query lookup cost and improve network performance.
