Abstract | Mobile Ad hoc networks are characterised by the absence of a centralised infrastructure and node heterogeneity. Due to size and mobility requirements of the nodes that make up such a network the protocols employed often must deal with limited bandwith and avoid high power consumption. In classical layered protocol stacks, services are run in isolation. We argue, that in order to save band-with, reduce power and improve performance, various services that are running on a node may co-operate. We have identified two services in particular that can benefit greatly from such a co-operation: The routing protocol, which is responsible for discovering routes between nodes in the system and the membership estimation service, which is responsible for providing an estimation of the current composition of the system. The two services are the fundamental building blocks for distributed algorithms and applications at a higher level. In this paper we show how these two basic protocols can cooperate. The membership estimation service can provide useful information to the routing protocol, whereas routing may aid to maintain the membership estimation updated. We describe an implementation of a cross layer architecture, in which the Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) and our Gossip-based membership estimation service share information. We show results of performacne experiments reflecting how this cooperation improves the performance of both services. Finally, we identify scenarios in which the interaction is of most benefit. |

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.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
