| Summary: | Hybrid networks are networks that have wired as well as wireless components. Several routing protocols exist for traditional wired networks and mobile ad-hoc networks. However, there are very few routing protocols designed for hybrid networks. The routing protocols for wired networks generally tend to be pro-active while reactive protocols are expected to scale better in ad-hoc networks. In this thesis, a routing protocol is presented that integrates the reactive and proactive components to yield a hybrid routing protocol. The main ideas behind the protocol are - to send beacons at the routing layer to obtain routing information along with beacons and to piggyback domain information on the beacons to allow mobile hosts to distinguish between intra-domain and inter-domain traffic. Variations of these schemes are presented and their respective performances are compared. Moreover, several other important issues related to routing in hybrid networks, viz. location management and addressing, are examined, and ideas have been presented on various aspects of the same. |
