Motivation
,QoS
routing in MANETs
–Supports
interesting applications
–Requires
“accurate” state information
,Little
work to quantify accuracy of state information
–QoS
routing protocols exist
–State
information aggregation discussed for LARGE wired networks, including loss of
information (ATM, hierarchical networks, etc.)
–Some
work on quantifying amount and accuracy of topology information
–Existing
evidence seems to suggest that
,More
accurate state information results in “better” routing decisions
,More
accurate state information is difficult to collect
