Synergy between Peer-to-Peer and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks April 1, 2006
I came across and very good research paper which talks about the a synergy between peerto-peer (p2p) overlay networks for the Internet and mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) connecting mobile nodes communicating with each other via multi-hop wireless links – both share the key characteristics of selforganization and decentralization, and both need to solve the same fundamental problem, that is, how to provide connectivity in a decentralized, dynamic environment.
The reasrchers have proposed Dynamic P2P Source Routing (DPSR), a new routing protocol for MANETs that exploits the synergy between p2p and MANETs for increased scalability. By integrating Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) …
