Abstract :
In an ad hoc wireless network, mobile hosts are acting as routers and the network topology is constantly changing due to node mobility. The disruptions can cause serious degradation for real-time session. This paper describes a new protocol, the flow oriented routing protocol (FORP), for routing real-time IPv6 flows (e.g., voice and data) in highly mobile ad hoc wireless networks. A new concept called “multi-hop handoff” is introduced to anticipate topological changes and perform rerouting, thus limiting the disruption of a flow due to the changing topology. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared to other routing approaches
