Ad-Hoc Networking: MANET
nMobile Ad-hoc
Networks (manet) at IETF: http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/manet-charter.html
–A
"mobile ad hoc network" (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile routers (and associated hosts) connected by
wireless links
–routers are free to move randomly and organize
themselves arbitrarily; thus, the
network's wireless topology may change rapidly and unpredictably
nThe primary
focus of the working group is to develop and evolve MANET routing specification(s) and introduce them to the Internet Standards track. The goal is to
support networks scaling up to
hundreds of routers.
