Networks of large numbers of embedded systems, such as those in sensor networks, will require automatic and efficient means for configuring TCP/IP network data paths and for handling dynamic changes in network topology. Recent Force XXI Tactical Internet experiments have exposed numerous problems in attempting to use standard internetworking techniques to handle the special requirements of these kinds of networks. This paper describes the difficulties inherent in using standard Internet protocols in ad hoc networks, the state-of-the-practice of data routing in current military networking environments, and summarizes the results of recent research that show promise for handling current problems and inefficiencies. |
