Titel
Self-organizing route aggregation for active ad-hoc networks
Abstract
We describe a self-organizing approach for providing route aggregation for Active Ad-Hoc Networks. Ad-Hoc networks are defined as 'infrastructure-less networks'. This extreme approach to decentralization leads to many problems in scalability. In order to combat this problem we propose a solution which introduces the notion of hierarchy and route aggregation for Ad-Hoc networks, in a similar way that BGP did for the Internet. Our solution uses application-layer Active Networking as a base technology so that the overlay network we create can then tune itself to current networking conditions.
