Abstract

Anycast allows a group of nodes to be identified with an anycast address so that data packets destined for that anycast address can be delivered to one member of the group. An approach to anycast routing in mobile ad hoc networks is presented in the paper. The approach is based on the Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Verctor Routing Protocol (AODV) and is named AODVA Anycast Routing Protocol (AODVA). AODVA extends AODV’s basic routing mechanisms such as on-demand discovery and destination sequence numbers for anycast routing. Additional mechanisms are introduced to maintain routes for anycast addresses so that no routing loops will occur. Simulations show that AODVA achieves high packet delivery ratios and low delivery delay for data packets destined for anycast addresses.
