- Improving Load Balancing With Multipath Routing
- Internet service providers have to provision network resources to optimize bandwidth utilization. Dynamic routing protocols take traffic variations into account to control the load distribution. Multipath routing protocols attempt to take advantage of the path diversity to bring network robustness and reliability. Indeed, with a specific traffic engineering policy, they...

- Arbutus: Network-Layer Load Balancing for Wireless Sensor Networks
- The hot spot problem is a typical byproduct of the many-to-one traffic pattern that characterizes most wireless sensor networks: the nodes with the best channel to the sink are overloaded with traffic from the rest of the network and experience a faster energy depletion rate than their peers. Routing protocols...

- HEAT: Scalable Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks Using Temperature Fields
- Existing unicast routing protocols like for example AODV are not suited well for wireless mesh networks as in such networks, most traffic flows between a large number of mobile nodes and a few access points with Internet connectivity. This paper proposes HEAT, an anycast routing protocol for this type of...

- Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Protocols and Evaluation With Model Checking
- A Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork MANET is a wireless network set up temporarily without a wired infrastructure (routers, switches, servers, cables, access points, etc.). The wireless nodes in a MANET may move around and each one of them may need to forward packets for other components in the network. Because they...

- Why Doesn't PIM Sparse Mode Work With a Static Route to an HSRP Address?
- Protocol-Independent Multicast PIM is a family of multicast routing protocols that can provide one-to-many and many-to-many distribution of data over the Internet. The "Protocol-independent" part refers to the fact that PIM does not include its own topology discovery mechanism, but instead uses routing information supplied by other traditional routing protocols...

- Network Design for OSPF Routing
- Internet Protocol IP traffic follows rules established by routing protocols, such as Open Shortest Path First OSPF. Each router computes shortest paths using weights assigned by the network operator, and creates destination tables used to direct each IP packet to the next router on the path to its final destination....
