ROUTE DETERMINATION METHOD FOR THE MODIFIED MANET ARCHITECTURE THAT OVERCOMES THE PROBLEMS OF THE MULTI-LINK SUBNET MODEL

摘要

PURPOSE: A route determination method for the modified MANET architecture that overcomes the problems of a multi-link subnet model is provided to enable a host within a MANET to exchange an IP packet with an external Internet network or another host within the MANET. CONSTITUTION: A MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network) router determines whether or not a source host and a destination host belong to the same MANET. In addition, the MANET determines whether or not the source host and the destination host are placed in the external Internet, and finds out the path to the destination host. The MANET router connected to the host transfers the path information to the source host.
