EMBEDDED ROUTING ALGORITHMS UNDER THE INTERNET PROTOCOL ROUTING LAYER OF A SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE PROTOCOL STACK IN A MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORK

摘要

A novel software architecture protocol stack with embedded routing algorithms under the Internet Protocol (IP) routing layer in order to provide high quality distribution of multimedia (voice, video, and data) services. These routing algorithms may include Logical Link Control, Adaptive Transmission Protocol, Neighbor Discovery, Traffic Control, Ad-Hoc Routing, Flow Processing, Intelligent Access and Admission Control. These routing algorithms when implemented further provide for advantages in speed of service, reliability of service, self-healing in case of catastrophic failure of an infrastructure component, load-balancing and geographic reuse.
