Abstract
The Bordercast Resolution Protocol (BRP) provides the bordercasting
packet delivery service used to support network querying applications.
The BRP uses a map of an extended routing zone, provided by the local
proactive Intrazone Routing Protocol (IARP), to construct bordercast
(multicast) trees, along which query packets are directed. Within the
context of the hybrid ZRP, the BRP is used to guide the route requests
of the global reactive Interzone Routing Protocol (IERP). The BRP
employs special query control mechanisms to steer route requests away
from areas of the network that have already been covered by the query.
The combination of multicasting and zone based query control makes
bordercasting an efficient and tunable service that is more suitable
than flood searching for network probing applications like route
discovery.

INTERNET DRAFT Bordercast Resolution Protocol July 2002
Applicability Statement
A. Networking Context
Bordercasting is an efficient multicast packet delivery service used
for guiding queries through the network. When each node proactively
tracks the topology of its surrounding extended routing zone, queries
can be directed to the edge of the node's routing zone rather than
blindly being relayed to *all* neighbors. Special routing zone based
query control mechanisms steer query packets away from regions of the
network that have already been covered by the query.
Within the context of ad hoc network routing, bordercasting is
proposed as a more efficient and tunable alternative to broadcasting
of route request messages for reactive (on-demand) routing protocols.
We refer to any reactive routing protocol that bordercasts route
requests as an Interzone Routing Protocol (IERP). The link state
information needed to support bordercasting is provided by a local
proactive Intrazone Routing Protocol (IARP). Thus, a routing protocol
based on bordercasting is actually hybrid reactive/proactive. For a
properly chosen routing zone radius, IARP's cost of tracking routing
zone topology is more than justified by the resulting savings in route
discovery overhead through bordercasting.
B. Protocol Characteristics and Mechanisms
The Bordercast Resolution Protocol (BRP) is a packet delivery service,
not a full featured routing protocol. Bordercasting is enabled by a
local proactive Intrazone Routing Protocol (IARP) and supports a
global reactive Interzone Routing Protocol (IERP). The character-
istics of the IARP [2] and IERP [3] are summarized in their
corresponding Internet drafts.

1. Introduction
The design of ad hoc network routing protocols is influenced by link
instability (due to node mobility) and limitations in available
bandwidth and transmission power. Traditional wired networks use
proactive routing protocols, like OSPF [7] and RIP [15], to maintain
up-to-date routes to all networks nodes. More efficient proactive
routing protocols have been developed for ad hoc networks [1][5][8]
[9][14]. However, continuously tracking the frequent topology changes
in a practical ad hoc network can still produce an overwhelming amount
of control traffic. Even worse, most of the acquired route
information expires before it is ever used, making the proactive
control traffic a poor investment of bandwidth. In contrast, reactive
routing protocols [6][10][13] only initiate a global, query-based,
route discovery as routes are needed. While some delay is incurred
for route acquisition, the amount of overhead traffic is generally
much less than proactive routing protocols, because routing information
is not wasted. For this reason, reactive protocols are generally
viewed as being more suitable than proactive routing protocols for the
power/bandwidth limited mobile ad hoc network.
Although a global proactive routing protocol may overwhelm an ad hoc
network's resources, a LIMITED SCOPE proactive routing protocol can
be used to benefit a global reactive routing protocol.
This hybrid routing approach forms the basis for the Zone Routing
Protocol (ZRP) framework [4].
The cost for each node to proactively track the topology of its
surrounding R-hop neighborhood (routing zone) can be justified by
improved route discovery efficiency and more effective route
maintenance [11][12]. Routes to local destinations are immediately
available, avoiding route discoveries. When the global route
discovery is needed, the routing zones can be used to efficiently
guide route queries outward through bordercasting, rather than blindly
relaying queries from neighbor to neighbor. The proactive maintenance
of routing zones also helps improve the quality and survivability of
discovered routes, by making them more robust to changes in network
topology. Once routes have been discovered, routing zone offers
enhanced, real-time, route maintenance. Link failures can be bypassed
by multiple hop paths within the routing zone. Similarly, sub-optimal
route segments can be identified and traffic re-routed along shorter
paths.

INTERNET DRAFT Bordercast Resolution Protocol July 2002
The bordercasting packet delivery service is provided by the
Bordercast Resolution Protocol (BRP). The BRP uses a map of an
extended routing zone, provided by the local proactive Intrazone
Routing Protocol (IARP) [2], to construct bordercast (multicast)
trees along which query packets are directed. (Within the context of
the hybrid ZRP, the BRP is used to guide the route requests of the
global reactive Interzone Routing Protocol (IERP) [3]). The BRP uses
special query control mechanisms to steer route requests away from
areas of the network that have already been covered by the query.
The combination of multicasting and zone based query control makes
bordercasting an efficient and tunable service that is more suitable
than flood searching for network probing applications like route
discovery.
2. Bordercasting (BRP) Terminology
bordercast
A packet delivery service, based on routing zones, which
distributes a message through a network in such a way that
all reachable network nodes belong to the routing zone of at
least one node that has relayed the message. Bordercasting
uses the known structure of routing zones to efficiently
relay messages away from regions of the network where the
message as already appeared.
This type of delivery is intended for efficient network
querying, where nodes proactively distribute queriable
information throughout their routing zones.
bordercasting node
A node that is relaying / has relayed a message as part of
a bordercast
bordercast tree
A multicast tree, rooted at a bordercasting node X, which
spans the uncovered peripheral nodes of node X.
covered node
A node that belongs to the routing zone of a bordercasting
node.
interior node
A node which lies inside of a routing zone. A routing zone
member is either an interior node or a peripheral node.
peripheral node
A node which lies at the edge of a routing zone
Haas, Pearlman, Samar Expires January 2003 [Page 2]
INTERNET DRAFT Bordercast Resolution Protocol July 2002
routing zone
With respect to a given node X, the collection of nodes
whose connectivity can be monitored by X through a
localized proactive routing protocol (ie. an Intrazone
Routing Protocol (IARP)).
routing zone radius
The distance (in hops) from a node to the peripheral nodes
of its routing zone
uncovered node
A node that does not belong to the routing zone of a
bordercasting node.
zone radius
see routing zone radius
3. Bordercasting -- Routing Zone Based Querying
In this section, we describe the basic operation of route discovery
based on bordercasting. A node, in need of a route to a destination,
first checks whether the destination lies within its routing zone.
If a path to the destination is known, no further route discovery
processing is required. On the other hand, if the destination is not
within the source's routing zone, the source node constructs a
"bordercast tree" spanning all of its peripheral nodes (ie. the nodes
on the edge of its routing zone). It then forwards a route query to
the neighbors in this tree.
The first time that a node receives a copy of the route query, the
node determines whether it belongs to the bordercast tree of the
neighbor that forwarded the query, because only tree members need to
actively process the route query. If the query was forwared via
layer 2 unicast, tree membership is implied by receipt of the query.
If the query was forwarded via layer 2 broadcast, the node must
reconstruct the bordercast tree of its forwarding neighbor. If the
node determines that it does not belong to the bordercast tree, it
simply notes reception of the query and then discards the message.
Haas, Pearlman, Samar Expires January 2003 [Page 3]
INTERNET DRAFT Bordercast Resolution Protocol July 2002
If the node does belong to the forwarding neighbors bordercast tree,
it proceeds to process the route query. If the query destination
lies in the node's routing zone, it sends a route reply back to the
query source, indicating a route to the destination. Otherwise, the
node constructs its own bordercast tree, which spans the subset of its
peripheral nodes that have not been covered by the query. (After a
node processes a route query, the nodes in its routing zone are
considered covered. The objective of bordercasting is to forward the
route query toward peripheral nodes that have not been covered by the
query.) The node then forwards the query to the neighbors in its
bordercast tree. After forwarding the query, the node's routing
becomes covered, thereby making it unnecessary for the node to forward
subsequent copies of the route query.

In the example illustrated above, node A has data to send to node L.
Assuming each node's zone radius is 2 hops, node L does not lie within
node A's routing zone (which includes nodes B,C,D,E,F,G). Therefore,
node A constructs a bordercast tree spanning its peripheral nodes:
D,E,F and G. Node A then sends the route query to neighbors in this
multicast tree: B and C. Each of these neighbors check if L belongs
to its routing zone. Since node L is not found in any of these nodes'
routing zones, the nodes construct bordercast trees spanning their
uncovered peripheral nodes and send the query to neighbors in their
bordercast trees. In particular, node B constructs a bordercast tree
spanning its uncovered peripheral nodes F,H and J. Nodes C and M are
excluded because they belong to the routing zone of A (the node that
relayed the query to B). Node B sends the query to its bordercast
tree neighbors: E and G. Likewise, node C identifies its uncovered
peripheral nodes (node E) and forwards the route query to its neighbor,
node F.

The full trace of this bordercast route discovery example is summarized
in the following table.
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| Rcv'd | | Peripheral Nodes | Relays to |
| From | Node | Covered | Uncovered | (Tree Neighbors) |
|-------|--------|---------|-----------|--------------------|
| --- | A | | E,D,F,G | B,C |
|-------|--------|---------|-----------|--------------------|
| A | B | C,M | F,H,J | E,G |
|-------|--------|---------|-----------|--------------------|
| A | C | B,M | E | F |
|-------|--------|---------|-----------|--------------------|
| B | E | A,G | I,C | H,F |
|-------|--------|---------|-----------|--------------------|
| B | G | destination discovered -- reply sent |
|-------|--------|---------|-----------|--------------------|
| C | F | A,D | B,H | E |
|-------|--------|---------|-----------|--------------------|
| E | H | F,B | --- | --- |
|-------|--------|---------|-----------|--------------------|
| E | F | A,D,B,H | --- | --- |
|-------|--------|---------|-----------|--------------------|
| F | E | A,G,C,I | --- | --- |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
Eventually, a route query is received by node G, which has the
destination L in its routing zone. Node G does not forward the
query, but sends a route reply back to A, indicating the
discovered path: A--B--G--J--L.
This example demonstrates the efficiency of bordercasting as compared
with flood searching. If the network consists of point-to-point
links, bordercasting generates 8 query transmissions. If the network
consists of a single, shared channel, then bordercasting generates 5
query broadcasts. In contrast, flood searching would generate 13
point-to-point query transmissions, or 12 query broadcasts.

4. Bordercast Resolution Protocol (BRP) Implementation
When a node's BRP receives a bordercast query packet, it marks the
routing zone of the previous bordercasting node as having been
"covered". If the node is an intended recipient of the query, it
proceeds to deliver the query message up to the querying application
(eg. IERP). To enhance bordercasting efficiency, this delivery is
scheduled with some random delay. This provides more opportunity for
the node to acquire query coverage information prior to forwarding
the query (see below). If the node is not an intended recipient of
the query, it is implied that the node's own routing zone has been
covered by other bordercasting nodes. As such, the node marks its
entire routing zone as covered and discards the query.
After processing the query, the querying application may return the
query to BRP. If the node knows the route to the destination, it
forwards the query to the destination. Otherwise, the node forwards
the query to neighbors that span its uncovered peripheral nodes in its
bordercast tree. In either case, after forwarding the query packet,
the node marks all nodes in its routing zone as covered.

D. State Machine
The BRP protocol consists of only one state (IDLE). Therefore,
no state transitions need to be specified. The BRP immediately
acts upon an event and then returns back to the IDLE state.
Notes: 1) X is used as a label for the node running this state
machine.
D.1
Event: A query is received from the higher layer (IERP).
An intrazone route to the query destination exists.
Action: If X has not already relayed the query to the
destination, X sends the query packet to the
next hop to the query destination.
D.2
Event: A query is received from the higher layer (IERP).
An intrazone route to the query destination
DOES NOT exist.
Action: X constructs the bordercast tree spanning its
"uncovered" peripheral nodes. The query packet
is forwarded to the node's tree neighbors.
Once the query is forwarded, the node marks all
of its routing zone nodes as covered
D.3
Event: A query is received from IP.
Action: Mark the routing zone nodes of the previous
bordercaster as covered.
If X is an intended recepient for the query, it
records its BRP state for this query and
schedules (with a random delay) delivery of the
encapsulated query to the higher layer
(i.e. IERP).
If X is not an intended recipient for the query,
it is implied that X's routing zone is covered by
the routing zones of other relaying nodes. Thus,
X marks its own routing zone as covered and
discards the packet

We define two complimentary operations on packets:

load (packet)
loads the values of the aforementioned variables into
the fields of the BRP packet.
E.1 Send(encap_packet, BRP_cache_ID)

6. Draft Modifications
The following are major changes between this version (02) of the BRP
draft and the previous version (01):
- The role of "intermediate node" has been eliminated from this
version of bordercasting. All nodes that relay bordercast messages
are now considered bordercasting nodes and therefore execute a common,
simplified algorithm. The BRP description, example and implementation
have been updated accordingly.
- A terminology section has been added.
