Introduction
rRouting
in wireless Ad Hoc network
ÞProactive (DSDV)
ÞReactive (DSR, AODV)
rProblems
in Reactive Routing Protocols
ÞFinding
the shortest path between sender and receiver by flooding
the requests
ÞShortest path leads to network congestion in central areas
ÞCaching
mechanisms for storing the routes causes the traffic load
to concentrate on certain nodes
ÞTraffic load is unevenly distributed
