routing protocol

A formula used by routers to determine the appropriate path onto which data should be forwarded. The routing protocol also specifies how routers report changes and share information with the other routers in the network that they can reach. A routing protocol allows the network to dynamically adjust to changing conditions, otherwise all routing decisions have to be predetermined and remain static. See content-addressable memory, router, routing table, RIP, OSPF, IGRP, EGP and BGP.

A Routing Table

This is a simple example of a routing table, showing how packets are directed out the appropriate port.

REVIEW ON ENERGY EFFICIENT OPPORTUNISTIC ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR UNDERWATER WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

The DYMO routing protocol uses hop by hop routing mechanism, if A Node (source) need to send data to D Node (destination), (A) will flood the network by broadcast RREQ packet to all the other neighboring nodes in the network, (B) Node (intermediate node) broadcast received RREQ packet after adds itself to RREQ packet, if the node (D) receives the RREQ packet, it passes the RREP packet to the sender node A by unicast RREP packet.
