A number of efforts currently aim at scalable and efficient mobile ad hoc routing, an essential piece concerning the integration of such networks in the Internet. However, there is another independent and important issue, namely, how can existing Internet networks…

In this paper, we develop a simple autoconfiguration mechanism for OLSR networks. The mechanism aims at solving the simple, but common, problem of one or more new nodes emerging in an existing network. We propose a simple solution, which allows…

We investigate broadcasting in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). We define broadcasting as being the process of delivering one packet, originated at one node, to (ideally) all other nodes in the MANET. We present specific problems related to broadcasting in MANETs,…

In this paper, we propose an extension to the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol, a proactive link-state routing protocol optimized for mobile ad-hoc networks, in-troducing temporal partial topology as a mechanism for re-ducing control traffic overhead. The extension is…

With the recent publication of RFC7939, I wrote in a previous blog entry that: This is, to some extend, the final piece of the core OLSRv2 (the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2) puzzle – which is also therefore the…

RFC7939 has just recently been approved: and published. This is, to some extend, the final piece of the core OLSRv2 (the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2) puzzle – which is also therefore the final piece of a 10+ years adventure of…
