Introduction
nRouting in wireless Ad Hoc network
ØProactive (OLSR, TBRPF)
ØReactive (DSR, AODV)
nProblems in Reactive Routing Protocols
ØFinding the shortest path between sender and receiver by flooding the requests
ØShortest path leads to network congestion in central areas
ØCaching mechanisms for storing the routes causes the traffic load to concentrate on certain nodes
ØTraffic load is unevenly distributed
nOur Solution: route discovery based on perceived network load
