Secure Routing by Bio-inspired Techniques - A Way from ICMN to ICMANET

The Mobile Network has a set of nodes that are dynamic in nature. Here the nodes tend to move in a random manner at any instant of time. The mobile network leads to temporary topology network called Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET). The mobile networks or MANETs may be disconnected or partially connected and this type of network is called intermittently connected networks (ICN). An intermittently connected network is a form of Delay Tolerant Network (DTN), where there never exists a complete end - to - end path between two nodes wishing to communicate. The intermittent connectivity arises when a network is sparse or highly mobile. Routing in such a spasmodic environ is arduous. The scope of this research extends to the work of approaching an improved routing technique for such disconnected networks. The intermittent nature subsists in both mobile and mobile adhoc networks. The intermittent connectivity in mobile networks is called an Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks (ICMN) and in MANET, it is called an Intermittently Connected Mobile Adhoc Networks (ICMANET).
