Improved DSR with Compressed IP Technique

MANET

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a network where nodes or the network itself can change the location and organize itself on the go. Most of the routing protocols are designed for mobile ad-hoc network on flooding of route request to create a path between source and destination. This type of technique usually creates lots of overhead in network which bring down the overall network performance. In DSR routing protocol Route Request packet header size increases with each hop. This makes one of the major disadvantage of DSR. Using IP compression techniques we can reduce the packet size.  Each IP address occupy 32 bit space, which is a not that necessary for addressing nodes in such small topology. If somehow we can manage this addresses efficiently we can increase scalability of the protocol reduce the overhead also.
