  1. A Scalable Location Service forGeographic Ad Hoc Routing Jinyang Li, John Jannotti, Douglas S. J. De Couto, David R. Karger, Robert Morris MIT Laboratory for Computer Science

  2. Overview • Motivation for Grid: scalable routing for large ad hoc networks • metropolitan area, 1000s of nodes • Protocol Scalability: The number of packets each node has to forward and the amount of state kept at each node grow slowly with the size of the network.

  3. Current Routing Strategies • Traditional scalable Internet routing • address aggregation hampers mobility • Pro-active topology distribution (e.g. DSDV) • reacts slowly to mobility in large networks • On-demand flooded queries (e.g. DSR) • too much protocol overhead in large networks

  4. Flooding causes too much packet overhead in big networks Flooding-based on-demand routing works best in small nets. Can we route without global topology knowledge? Avg. packets transmitted per node per second Number of nodes

  5. Geographic Forwarding Scales Well • Assume each node knows its geographic location. • A addresses a packet to G’s latitude, longitude • C only needs to know its immediate neighbors to forward packets towards G. • Geographic forwarding needs a location service! C’s radio range A D F C G B E

  6. Possible Designs for a Location Service • Flood to get a node’s location (LAR, DREAM). • excessive flooding messages • Central static location server. • not fault tolerant • too much load on central server and nearby nodes • the server might be far away for nearby nodes or inaccessible due to network partition. • Every node acts as server for a few others. • good for spreading load and tolerating failures.

  7. Desirable Properties of a Distributed Location Service • Spread load evenly over all nodes. • Degrade gracefully as nodes fail. • Queries for nearby nodes stay local. • Per-node storage and communication costs grow slowly as the network size grows.

  8. level-0 level-1 level-2 level-3 GLS’s spatial hierarchy All nodes agree on the global origin of the grid hierarchy

  9. sibling level-0 squares s n s s s s sibling level-1 squares s s sibling level-2 squares s s 3 Servers Per Node Per Level • s is n’s successorin that square. • (Successor is the node with “least ID greater than” n )

  10. s n s s s s s s s1 x s2 s s3 location query path Queries Search for Destination’s Successors Each query step: visit n’s successor at each level.

  16. Challenges for GLS in a Mobile Network • Out-of-date location information in servers. • Tradeoff between maintaining accurate location data and minimizing periodic location update messages. • Adapt location update rate to node speed • Update distant servers less frequently than nearby servers. • Leave forwarding pointers until updates catch up.

  17. Performance Analysis • How well does GLS cope with mobility? • How scalable is GLS? • How well does GLS handle node failures? • How local are the queries for nearby nodes?

  18. Simulation Environment • Simulations using ns with CMU’s wireless extension (IEEE 802.11) • Mobility Model: • random way-point with speed 0-10 m/s (22 mph) • Area of square universe grows with the number of nodes in the network. • Achieve spatial reuse of the spectrum • GLS level-0 square is 250m x 250m • 300 seconds per simulation

  19. query success rate Number of nodes GLS Finds Nodes in Big Mobile Networks Biggest network simulated: 600 nodes, 2900x2900m (4-level grid hierarchy) • Failed queries are not retransmitted in this simulation • Queries fail because of out-of-date information for destination nodes or intermediate servers

  20. GLS Protocol Overhead Grows Slowly Avg. packets transmitted per node per second Number of nodes • Protocol packets include: GLS update, GLS query/reply

  21. Average Location Table Size is Small Avg. location table size Number of nodes • Average location table size grows extremely slowly with the size of the network

  22. 7 2 8 11 21 1 27 26 18 23 Node 3 is to be the location server for all other nodes 16 1,2,6,7,8 11,16,18, 21,23,25 25 6 3 Non-uniform Location Table Size Simulated universe The complete Grid hierarchy of level 3 Possible solution: dynamically adjust square boundaries

  23. Query success rate Fraction of failed nodes GLS is Fault Tolerant • Measured query performance immediately after a number of nodes crash simultaneously. • (200-node-networks)

  24. Ratio of query path to src/dst distance Hop count between source and destination Query Path Length is proportional to the distance between source and destination

  25. Performance Comparison between Grid and DSR • DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) • Source floods route request to find the destination. • Query reply includes source route to destination. • Source uses source route to send data packets. • Simulation scenario: • 2Mbps radio bandwidth • CBR sources, 4 128-byte packets/second for 20 seconds. • 50% of nodes initiate over 300-second life of simulation.

  26. Grid DSR Successfully delivered data Number of nodes Fraction of Data Packets Delivered • Geographic forwarding is less fragile than source routing. • Why does DSR have trouble with > 300 nodes?

  27. DSR Avg. packets transmitted per node per second Grid Number of nodes Protocol Packet Overhead • DSR prone to congestion in big networks: • Sources must re-flood queries to fix broken source routes • These queries cause congestion • Grid’s queries cause less network load. • Queries are unicast, not flooded. • Un-routable packets are discarded at source when query fails.

  28. Conclusion • GLS enables routing using geographic forwarding. • GLS preserves the scalability of geographic forwarding. • Current work: • Implementation of Grid in Linux http://pdos.lcs.mit.edu/grid
