Routing-protocol

where do we go?

the problem: in a growing wireless network there will be the situation that a node will have to be routed over a number of other nodes to reach its destination-node (multi-hop-routing).

the alternatives:

  • BGP/RIP/OSPF - centralized quagga/zebra servers propagate existing routes
  • Meshed Routing - a novel way of ad-hoc routing, nodes modify their routing tables independently
  • WDS - Wireless-Distribution-System, all nodes act as APs and form one big subnet via WDS-Links
