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 : Landmark Routing Protocol (LANMAR) for Large Scale Ad Hoc Networks Author(s) : M. Gerla et al. Filename : draft-ietf-manet-lanmar-05.txt Pages : 21 Date : 2002-11-7 The Landmark Routing Protocol (LANMAR) utilizes the concept of landmark for scalable routing in large, mobile ad hoc networks. It relies on the notion of group mobility: i.e., a logical group (for example a team of coworkers at a convention) moves in a coordinated fashion. The existence of such logical group can be efficiently reflected in the addressing scheme. It assumes that an IP like address is used consisting of a group ID (or subnet ID) and a host ID, i.e. <Group ID, Host ID>. A landmark is dynamically elected in each group. The route to a landmark is propagated throughout the network using a Distance Vector mechanism. Separately, each node in the network uses a scoped routing algorithm (e.g., FSR) to learn about routes within a given (max number of hops) scope. To route a packet to a destination outside its scope, a node will direct the packet to the landmark corresponding to the group ID of such destination. Once the packet approaches the landmark, it will typically be routed directly to the destination. A solution to nodes outside of the scope of their landmark (i.e., drifters) is also addressed in the draft. Thus, by summarizing in the corresponding landmarks the routing information of remote groups of nodes and by using the truncated local routing table, LANMAR dramatically reduces routing table size and routing update overhead in large networks. The dynamic election of landmarks enables LANMAR to cope with mobile environments. LANMAR is well suited to provide an efficient and scalable routing solution in large, mobile, ad hoc environments in which group behavior applies and high mobility renders traditional routing schemes inefficient.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-manet-lanmar-05.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.
