Modeling and Analyzing Anycast Routing in Reactive and Proactive Networks

Abstract

Anycast routing is an important service which is used for various interesting applications in different networks. In this dissertation anycast routing protocol has been modeled, im- plemented and analyzed in various reactive and proactive networks like Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs), Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), Computational Grid envi- ronment and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs).
