| Abstract | Routing in communication networks involves the indirection from a persistent name (or ID) to a locator and delivering packets based upon the locator. In a large-scale, highly dynamic network, the ID-to-locator mappings are both large in number, and change often. Traditional routing protocols require high overhead to keep these in directions up-to-date. In this paper, we propose Weak State Routing (WSR), a routing mechanism for large-scale highly dynamic networks. WSR's novelty is that it uses random directional walks biased occasionally by weak indirection state information in intermediate nodes. The indirection state information is weak, i.e. interpreted not as absolute truth, but as probabilistic hints. Nodes only have partial information about the region a destination node is likely to be. This method allows us to aggregate information about a number of remote locations in a geographic region. In other words, the state information maps a set-of-IDs to a it geographical region. The intermediate nodes receiving the random walk use a method similar to longest-prefix-match in order to prioritize their mappings to decide how to bias and forward the random walk. WSR can also be viewed as an unstructured distributed hashing technique. WSR displays good rare-object recall with scalability properties similar to structured DHTs, albeit with more tolerance to dynamism and without constraining the degree distribution of the underlying network. Through simulations, we show that WSR offers a high packet delivery ratio, more than 98%. The control packet overhead incurred in the network scales as O(N) for N-node networks. The number of mappings stored in the network appears to scale as $Θ(N^{(3/2)}).$ We compare WSR with Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and geographic forwarding (GPSR) combined with Grid Location Service (GLS). Our results indicate that WSR delivers more packets with less overhead at the cost of increased path length. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
