Routing: sender of packet determines complete

sequence
of nodes along path and lists them in packet

|
n |
use
dynamic route discovery to determine path
|
|
|
n |
advantages:
|
|
|
|
– |
no
periodic routing advertisement messages
|
|
|
n |
saves
bandwidth when there is little change in network
|
|
|
n |
saves
battery power (no need to send/receive messages)
|
|
|
– |
ad-hoc
networks have many redundant links, which cause flooding
|
|
of
routing messages
|
|
|
– |
no
assumption of link symmetry
|
|
|
– |
possible
to react to changes faster than state-based or distance-
|
|
|
vector
based protocols
