动态源路由协议(Dynamic Source Routing, DSR)

动态源路由协议(Dynamic Source Routing, DSR)是在移动自组网(MANET)中使用的一种路由协议。它工作在TCP/IP协议族的网际层。

　　

它的首部采用扩展性良好的TLV格式。除固定部分外，不同类型的选项(option)以TLV格式附加在固定部分之后。

　　

选项的种类包括：

　　路由请求(Route Request)

　　路由应答(Route Reply)

　　确认请求(ACK Request)

　　确认(ACK)

　　源路由(Source Route)

 

 

Dynamic source routing protocol (DSR) is an on-demand protocol designed to restrict the bandwidth consumed by control packets in ad hoc wireless networks by eliminating the periodic table-update messages required in the table-driven approach.

 

The major difference between this and the other on-demand routing protocols is that it is beacon-less and hence does not require periodic hello packet (beacon) transmissions, which are used by a node to inform its neighbors of its presence.

 

The basic approach of this protocol (and all other on-demand routing protocols) during the route construction phase is to establish a route by flooding RouteRequest packets in the network. The destination node, on receiving a RouteRequest packet, responds by sending a RouteReply packet back to the
