ABSTRACT

Scalable source routing (SSR) is a network layer routing protocol that provides services that are similar to those of structured peer-to-peer overlays.

In this paper, we describe several improvements to the SSR protocol. They aim at providing nodes with more up-to-date routing information: 1. The use of link-layer broadcast enables all neighbors of a node to contribute to the forwarding process. 2. A light-weight and fast selection mechanism avoids packet duplication and optimizes the source route iteratively. 3. Nodes implicitly learn the network's topology from overheard broadcast messages.

We present simulation results which show the performance gain of the proposed improvements: 1. The delivery ratio in settings with high mobility increases. 2. The required per-node state can be reduced as compared with the original SSR protocol. 3. The route stretch decreases. --- These improvements are achieved without increasing the routing overhead.
