ENABLING INTERNET PROTOCOL CONNECTIVITY ACROSS MULTI-HOP MOBILE WIRELESS NETWORKS VIA A SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE

摘要

The disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and computer program product directed towards enabling internet protocol (IP) connectivity across multi-hop wireless networks. A virtual adapter is generated to facilitate creating a virtual link layer between a virtual link layer node and at least one other virtual link layer node. The virtual link layer is then interfaced with an IP layer via the virtual adapter, such that data transmitted over the virtual link layer is accessible to the IP layer via the virtual adapter.
