Effective Mobile Routing Through Dynamic Addressing

<p>Military communications has always been an important factor in military victory and will surely play an important part in future combat. In modern warfare military units are usually deployed without existing network infrastructure. The IP routing protocol designed for hierarchical networks cannot easily be applied in military networks due to the dynamic topology expected in military environments. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) represent an appropriate network for small military networks. But most ad-hoc routing protocols suffer from the problem of scalability for large networks. Hierarchical routing schemes based on the IP address structure are more scalable than ad-hoc routing but are not flexible for a network with very dynamic topology.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
