Abstract

Anycasting is an important service which is used in various networks for its diverse applications. Modeling, optimization and analyzing this important service is an interesting research issue. In this doctoral study we are modeling and analyzing the anycast routing in various networks which includes Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Computational Grid environment and Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). We have identified some serious issues in the anycast routing models in the above mentioned networks. We have proposed novel solutions to model and analyze the anycast routing in these networks. We have tested our proposed solutions in different simulation tools like NS-2, OMNnet++, TOSSIM and Alkemi test bed for computational grid. Models of the proposed schemes with some initial results are presented in this paper.
