“…Load-balancing. For intra-MANET traffic, choose different immediate relays node to destination MANET nodes within the same MANET domain (Royer et al, 2001;Chiu and Gen-Huey, 2003), while for inter-MANET traffic, choosing different IGWs for forwarding traffic from MANET to Internet and vice verse (Hsu et al, 2004).…”

“…However, this paper assumes for simplicity that all inter-MANET traffic is traffic between a MANET and the internet.) Research has been in-progress for the load-balancing (LB) of intra-MANET traffic within a MANET domain (Royer et al, 2001;Chiu and Gen-Huey, 2003), and that of inter-MANET traffic over multiple IGWs (Hsu et al, 2004). However, intra/inter-MANET traffic are considered separately.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to describe the required functionalities on providing Internet connectivity and mobility management for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), present discovered problems such as inconsistent contexts, and provide the corresponding solutions. It also provides a hybrid metric for the load-balance of intra/inter-MANET traffic over multiple Internet gateways. Design/methodology/approach-The paper uses both mathematical analyses and simulations to discover the required functionalities and problems on providing Internet connectivity and mobility management for MANETs. The proposed hybrid metric for Internet gateway (IGW) selection is a replacement of the shortest hop-count metric, and consider three factors: hop-count distance, intra-MANET traffic, and inter-MANET traffic. Findings-Simulation results show that ad-hoc routing protocols, using our proposed metric, get better performance in terms of packet delivery ratio and transmission delay, at the cost of slightly increased signalling overhead. Research limitations/implications-In the assessment, simulation results are taken from two mobility scenarios, and the hybrid metric is integrated into only re-active ad-hoc routing. Thus, more case studies need to be carried out to demonstrate the outcomes of our proposed metric compared with others. Practical implications-This paper provides the needed functionalities for broadening the richness of MANET applications to Internet users, and vice verse. Originality/value-This paper contributes to the research on internetworking and mobility management between mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) and the Internet.
