Reactive Routing Protocols

Posted by arlene

Reactive protocols are designed to minimize routing overhead. Instead of tracking the changes in the network topology to continuously maintain shortest path routes to all destinations, these protocols determine routes only when necessary. Typically, these protocols perform a route discovery operation between the source and the desired destination when the source needs to send a [...]

Hybrid Routing Protocols

Posted by arlene

The use of hybrid routing is an approach that is often used to obtain a better balance between the adaptability to varying network conditions and the routing overhead. These protocols use a combination of reactive and proactive principles, each applied under different conditions, places, or regions. For instance, a hybrid routing protocol may benefit from [...]
