the establishment as well as the survival of mobile ad-hoc networks relies on the cooperation of nodes for performing network operations such as routing and packet forwarding. in these networks, misbehaving nodes can severely degrade network’s performance by not cooperating in networking operations. in this paper, we study the issue of node misbehavior in packet forwarding. to counter this type...

the ip lookup process is a key bottleneck in routing due to the increase in routing table size, increasing traıc and migration to ipv6 addresses. the ip address lookup involves computation of the longest prefix matching (lpm), which existing solutions such as bsd radix tries, scale poorly when traıc in the router increases or when employed for ipv6 address lookups. in this paper, we describe a ...

Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) is a novel technology that has recently emerged and due to its swift changing topology and high mobility nature, it has become problematic to design an efficient routing protocol in VANETs’ amongst both moving and stationary units. Also, the existing routing algorithms are not very effective to satisfy all requirements of VANETs. This paper explores the need o...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are comprised of sensor nodes that forward data in the shape of packets inside a network. Proficient packet forwarding is a prerequisite in sensor networks since many tasks in the network, together with redundancy evaluation and localization, depend upon the methods of packet forwarding. With the motivation to develop a fault tolerant packet forwarding scheme a S...

Internet is built as a packet-switching network. The kernel function of Internet infrastructure, including routers and switches, is to forward the packets that are received from one subnet to another subnet. The packet forwarding is accomplished by using the header information extracted from a packet to look up the forwarding table maintained in the routers/ switches. Due to rapid growth of net...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes that onward the sensed data in form of packets within the deployed network. Efficient packet forwarding is a key constraint in sensor networks and many demanding tasks in the network, together with redundancy estimation and sensor node localization depend principally on packet forwarding. Location based forwarding schemes have recently evo...

Data link level forwarding provides simple and fast packet forwarding capability. One primary reason for the simplicity of layer 2 forwarding comes from its short, fixed length labels. A node forwarding at network layer must parse a relatively large header, and perform a longest-prefix match to determine a forwarding path. When a node performs layer 2 forwarding it can do direct index lookup in...
