Ad-Hoc Networking
idea: allow an arbitrary collection of mobiles to create a
network on demand, without support from any “base”
station or user administration:
n create a network of all people attending a working group
meeting to exchange e-mail or to run groupware applications
n digital battlefield communications
n disaster relief efforts
n one host might have special capabilities (such as an Internet
connection) and all other machines might want to route
through it
solution should coexist with existing protocols, such as
mobile IP
