Wireless Ad Hoc Networks - Routing

Wireless ad hoc networks promise flexible deployment without the need for deployed infrastructure (wireless base stations). In this lecture, we will survey some of the popular wireless ad hoc routing protocols for the IEEE 802.11 standard wireless LAN networks.

Wireless Ad hoc Networks - Capacity and Performance

Given the various ad hoc routing protocols, recent research efforts have tried to analyze actual performance achieved in typical wireless ad hoc network deployments. Some of these results are discussed in the following papers

Structured P2P Systems

Peer-to-peer systems such as Napster, Gnutella have become extremely popular as mechanisms to share songs and other objects as well as a tool to circumvent censoring and content. P2P networks (just as ad hoc wireless networks work) promise to allow peers to identify other peers without the need for centralized servers. Recall that you implemented your HWP1 as a p2p network. Structured p2p assume that the objects are stored in well defined locations (that other peers know where to query). Unstructured p2p systems require you to search the network to identify interesting objects.

TCP - Asymetric links (DSL), Satellite, ..

Recall that TCP makes assumptions regarding the forward and reverse paths. For networks such as Cable, DSL, satellite broadband networks, such assumptions do not hold. We investigate how such changes affect TCP performance.

04/22/2003 In this lecture, we look at a few papers on what it takes to accurately simulate the Internet. Such simulations are essential to validate new protocols before deploying them in the wide Internet. However, the scale and dynamic nature of the Internet makes this an extremely challenging task.
