Abstract:
In disaster scenarios, communication systems usually consist of heterogeneous nodes and damaged infrastructure. Communication is important for rescue teams and victims as well but a serious problem because normal network systems like wired or mobile radio Internet could be unreliable or simply not available. To deal with these problems, much effort has been spent to mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and their specialties. Those networks are usually unsteady and highly mobile. Therefore, classical network services like resolution of names to their regarding local IP addresses is a big challenge. In this paper, we present our new approach for consistent and efficient name resolution using adaptive routing techniques. With this approach, routing and name resolution can be combined to decrease the latency of the lookup and to reduce the caused traffic.
