Abstract

A mobile ad-hoc network is the cooperative engagement of a collection of mobile

nodes without the intervention of any centralized access point. It is a temporarily
formed infrastructure-less network using mobile nodes like laptops, personal digital
assistants and cellular phones. The nodes in the network not only become source or
destination but sometimes help other nodes to communicate with each other by
behaving like a router. The routing is done using many protocols after taking into
account the higher mobility rate involved in the network. The popular protocols are
DD!, D", A#D! and T#"A. These protocols can be implemented in software or
in hardware. $ardware can achieve a faster call setup and %uick reaction to dynamic
topology changes. In the fi&ed wired network, routers are viewed as hardware devices
that are optimized for routing packets at high speeds. Trading off cost, fle&ibility, ease
of configuration and speed will be a challenge for router design. Towards this aim in
this paper, the destination se%uenced distance vector 'DD!( routing protocol is
implemented in hardware using !$D) and the architecture is simulated. This paper
proposes *A+,T router hardware architecture for implementing the DD! protocol
