Name: PRAMOD PUTTA Project proposal cs898T login: pxputta TOPIC : Connecting wired and wireless networks throughh route distribution GOALS: Now-a-days people are more mobile and hence the need to stay connected is becomign a challenging task in this world. Redestribution of routes , aids in bridging the gaps between different networks and make them transparent to each other. wi-fi is a wireless technology that is used to get layer2 connectivity in wireless networks. This technology is used in wireless LANs. Ad-hoc wireless networks provide on-demand connectivity in a wireless network and increase the scope of mobility than a wireless LAN. Wi-fi , Ethernet and other networking technologies provide layer2 connectivity. for leyer3 connectivity we need to consider appropriate routing protocols in both wired and wireless networks to redestribute,so as to achieve connectivity. SCOPE: >> AODV routing protocol for wireless domains >> RIP( Routingn information protocol) for wired networks. >> achieving network connectivity between a roaming mobile node and a fixed infrastructure host, using the above two protocols. >> conclusion REFERENCES: [1]. charles e perkns and elizabeth m royer "Ad-Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing" [http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/98aug/slides/manet-aodv-98aug.pdf] Dated:aug 1998.
