Name resolution in on-demand MANET
Peng Hu, Peilin Hong, Jinsheng Li · 2006
As an important service, DNS is essential to lots of network applications such as e-mail and SIP. But traditional DNS can not work well in mobile ad hoc network (MANET) owing to the lack of fixed infrastructure. This paper proposes a novel DNS framework for the on-demand MANET by extending a DNS message in the routing protocol. The simulation results are showed that the new framework has better performance in reducing the overhead of domain name resolution.
