The Diffusive Name-based Routing Protocol (DNRP) is introduced for efficient name-based routing in informationcentric networks (ICN). DNRP establishes and maintains multiple loop-free routes to the nearest instances of a name prefix using only distance information. DNRP eliminates the need for periodic updates, maintaining topology information, storing complete paths to content replicas, or kno...

When offered a permanent food source, central Australian desert ants, Melophorus bagoti, develop individually distinct, view-based foraging routes, which they retrace with amazing accuracy during each foraging trip. Using a particular channel setup connected to an artificial feeder, we trained M. bagoti ants to either two or three inward routes that led through different parts of their maze-lik...

Recently, quality-of-service routing in dynamic, wireless multi-hop ad hoc networks becomes a hot research topic, and various QoS protocols are proposed Even so, popular QoS routing protocols rarely provide multiple routes. Once links break due to node mobility, establishment of new routes leads to large control overhead and more end-to-end delay. In MANETs to support multimedia applications su...

Ad hoc networks have many applications. Multiple ad hoc routing protocols have been proposed, of which on-demand routing protocols are very popular because they are easy to realize and have low routing overhead. The mobility of nodes and instability of the wireless environment may result in link breaks between neighboring nodes, even causes multiple routes to be invalid. Existing local repairin...
