A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks Working Group of the IETF. Title : The Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) for Ad Hoc Networks Author(s) : Z. Haas, M. Pearlman Filename : draft-ietf-manet-zone-zrp-01.txt Pages : 39 Date : 08-Sep-98 This document describes the Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP), a hybrid routing protocol suitable for a wide variety of mobile ad-hoc networks, especially those with large network spans and diverse mobility patterns. Each node proactively maintains routes within a local region (referred to as the routing zone). Knowledge of the routing zone topology is leveraged by the ZRP to improve the efficiency of a reactive route query/reply mechanism. The proactive maintenance of routing zones also helps improve the quality of discovered routes, by making them more robust to changes in network topology. The ZRP can be configured for a particular network by proper selection of a single parameter, the routing zone radius. This version of the ZRP internet draft describes a number of features which have been added to the protocol. The distance-vector based IARP algorithm has been enchanced to prevent the 'counting to infinity problem'. Route caching is now supported by the IERP route discovery process. By allowing discovered route information to be distributed in caches, route accumulation in the IERP query/ reply packets can be avoided, thereby reducing the amount of route discovery traffic, and improving the query response time. Two additional (optional) stages have also been added to the route discovery process, to support the acquisition and optimization of source routes. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-manet-zone-zrp-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
