- IP communications over an SOA bus may advertise and implement separate instances of an IP service.
- Each IP service may have an IP address in an IP subnet associated with the SOA bus.
- Each IP service advertised may have a name that includes a service descriptor uniformly associated with IP connectivity. Additionally, the name of each IP service may include the IP address for that particular service.
- a first device may transmit an IP packet to a second device over the SOA bus by remotely invoking the IP service advertised by the second device and passing the IP packet to the IP service of the second device as a parameter of invocation.
- Implementations are also described regarding multi-hop Internet routing over a service oriented architecture bus. For example, some implementations involve modification of existing routing mechanisms in the ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing standards in order to provide Internet-informed routing. Alternative implementations involve maintenance of lists, by non-gateway nodes, of potential gateway nodes based on SOA bus announcements of gateway node capabilities, and utilization of the unmodified AODV routing mechanisms to send and/or forward IP packets to a gateway node selected from a list. In alternative aspects of either of the aforementioned implementations, the Internet-destined packets may either be tunneled (i.e., the actual Internet destination being masked) or non-tunneled (i.e., no masking of the Internet destination).
- AODV ad hoc on-demand distance vector
- FIG. 1 illustrates an example a system 100 in which various devices 1 15 (e.g., personal computer 115-a, smartphone 1 15-b, tablet computer 1 15-c, and printer 115-d) communicate with each other at a peer-to-peer level.
- devices 1 15 e.g., personal computer 115-a, smartphone 1 15-b, tablet computer 1 15-c, and printer 115-d
- the devices 1 15 may communicate with each other over different access technologies.

- SOA bus refers broadly to any communication architecture providing a logical infrastructure for distributed nodes to advertise services to each other and remotely invoke each other's advertised services.
- service refers broadly to an autonomous unit of software functionality which can be remotely invoked or called by a device or application separate from the device or application implementing the service.
- SOA buses 105 in FIG. 2 and throughout the specification are given within the context of an AllJoyn bus implementing the open-source AllJoyn bus functionality.
- the principles of the present specification may be broadly applied to other types of SOA buses, including, but not limited to, Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs), Windows service buses, Simple Service Buses (SSBs), D-Bus, and/or other service buses.
- ESDs Enterprise Service Buses
- SSBs Simple Service Buses
- D-Bus D-Bus
- each of the devices 1 15 may run a separate instance of an SOA bus daemon.
- the SOA bus daemon running on each device 115 of the system 300 may communicate with the SOA bus daemons running on other devices 1 15 of the system 300 to establish a logical SOA bus 105 over the peer-to-peer network such that each of the devices 115 may communicate with any of the other devices 115 in the system 100 over the logical SOA bus 105, regardless of the access technologies used by the devices 1 15 to communicate with their peers.
- Each of the devices 1 15 may be configured to provide a number of services over the SOA bus 105.
- personal computer 115-a may provide a chat service, a streaming media service, and an Internet Protocol (IP) service.
- Smartphone 1 15-b may provide a chat service, a Global Positioning System (GPS) service, and an IP service.
- Tablet computer 115-c may provide a dictionary service and an IP service.
- Printer 115-d may provide a chat service, a streaming media service, and an IP service.
- Each service offered at each device 1 15 may be assigned a logical location or address on the SOA bus 105.
- the chat service of personal computer 1 15-a is given the address of : 1.1 on the SOA bus 105
- the streaming media service of the personal computer 115-a is given the address of : 1.2 on the SOA bus 105
- the IP service of the personal computer 115-a is given the address of : 1.3 on the SOA bus 105.
- Internet Protocol or "IP” refers to any version of the Internet Protocol, including IPv4, IPv6, and/or any other past or future version.
- Each of the devices 115 on the SOA bus 105 may have access to a list of services advertised by other devices 1 15.
- a client process on one of the devices 115 may remotely invoke an advertised service offered by another device 115 by establishing a session on the SOA bus 105 with the address of the advertised service on the SOA bus. For instance, if a client process of smartphone 1 15-b desired to access the streaming media service of printer 115-d, the client process may establish a session with address : 1.9 on the SOA bus 105 and remotely invoke a method or procedure associated with the streaming media service through the session.
- a client process may be another service advertised on the SOA bus. Additionally or alternatively, a client process may be an application or other unit of software functionality with a separate address on the SOA bus 105 which offers no publicly advertised services over the SOA bus 105.
- each of the devices 1 15 in the system 100 may offer an IP service over the SOA bus 105.
- the IP services may cooperate with each other to implement one or more IP subnets over the SOA bus 105.
- This IP subnet may be separate and independent from any other IP subnet outside of the SOA bus.
- personal computer 115-a and smartphone 115-b may be part of a first IP subnet by virtue of their WLAN connection, the first IP subnet may be separate and distinct from a second IP subnet implemented over the SOA bus 105.
- each of the IP services may have a unique name that is advertised over the SOA bus 105.
- Each unique name may include a service descriptor uniformly associated with IP service (e.g., "org.alljoyn.ipservice") and an appended indicator of an IP address assigned to that device within the IP subnet implemented by the SOA bus 105 (e.g., "sl92_168_0_4" indicating an IP address of 192.168.0.4).
- a service descriptor uniformly associated with IP service e.g., "org.alljoyn.ipservice”
- an appended indicator of an IP address assigned to that device within the IP subnet implemented by the SOA bus 105 e.g., "sl92_168_0_4" indicating an IP address of 192.168.0.4.
- each IP service may be quickly identified as such by other devices on the SOA bus 105.
- no additional discovery steps are necessary to determine the IP address of a device 1 15 in the IP subnet implemented over the SOA bus
- each device 115 offering an IP service on the SOA bus 105 may maintain a record of the IP address of each other known device 1 15 offering an IP service on the SOA bus 105. IP packets may be exchanged between devices 115 on the SOA bus 105 through the remote invocation of the advertised IP services.
- personal computer 1 15-a may transmit an IP packet addressed to 192.168.0.21 (the IP address associated with smartphone 115- b) by establishing a session between addresses : 1.3 and : 1.6 on the SOA bus 105, remotely invoking a method or function associated with the IP service associated with the smartphone 115-b (i.e. "org.alljoyn.ipservice.sl92_168_0_21"), and passing the IP packet to the IP service associated with the smartphone 115-b over the SOA bus 105.
- the IP packet may be passed to the IP service associated with the smartphone 115-b as an argument or other parameter in the syntax of the remotely invoked method or function.
- the IP packet may be treated as an object rather than a packet by the IP services.
- IP subnets may be implemented over the SOA bus 105.
- the IP services may enforce rules that allow for the transfer of packets only between IP addresses associated with the same IP subnet.
- the IP subnet of an IP service may, in some examples, be included in the name of that IP service.
- an IP service name of "org.alljoyn.ipservice.weather.s l92_168_0_21” may refer to an IP service associated with IP address 192.168.0.21 on a first subnet
- an IP service name of "org.alljoyn.ipservice.sports.sl92_168_0_21” may refer to the same IP address on an entirely separate, independent subnet.
- a device 115 may have multiple IP addresses for multiple IP subnets implemented by the SOA bus 105.
- the device 1 15 may run multiple IP services, each IP service being associated with a separate subnet, and/or allow a single IP service to handle multiple subnets. If a single IP service handles multiple subnets, the name of the IP service may reflect each IP address and subnet associated with the device 115. In certain examples, multiple subnets may be discovered. For example, a user may desire to find ad hoc subnets related to weather reports. In this example, the user may search the SOA bus 105 for services with names beginning with "org.alljoyn.ipservice. weather.” The user may advertise an IP address for his or her device 1 15 on one or more of the subnets using the same preamble with a unique IP address.
- one or more of the IP services may include Domain Name Service (DNS) functionality.
- DNS Domain Name Service
- an application running on personal computer 1 15_a may attempt to access a file from the domain hostname "magellan. ion. local".
- the IP service running on the personal computer 115_a may be configured to translate the provided domain into an IP service running on one of the other devices 1 15 connected to the SOA bus 105.
- the name of one or more IP services may include an indicator of any domain hostnames associated with that IP service.
- the name of an IP service advertised by a device 1 15 may be
- Magnetic component of the service name refers to the domain hostname associated with that the IP address "192.168.0.21.”
- a predetermined domain name such as ".ion.local” or another suffix may be appended to the hostname component of the service name (e.g., to arrive at the hostname of "magellan.ion.local”). Additionally or alternatively, the entire domain name may be included as part of the advertised service name. It is further contemplated that a service associated with a resolved hostname name may be used as a subdomain under the hostname.
- DNS functionality on one of the devices 1 15 may allow for the DNS lookup of the "weather” service as "weather. voyager.ion.local.”
- IP services may discover and track the domain hostnames names associated with each other IP service on the SOA bus 105 by discovering the name given to the other IP services on the SOA bus 105.
- This DNS functionality may allow the personal computer 115_a or another device 1 15 to provide effective DNS resolution to its applications and users without contacting a DNS server.
- the hostname and resolved IP address may be added to a hosts file of the operating system of the device 115 (e.g., at "/etc/hosts" in UNIX or UNIX-like systems).
- any DNS query from an application to the known hostname may automatically be resolved by the operating system to the correct address on an IP subnet associated with the SOA bus.
- the operating system resolver of the device 1 15 need not be modified to accommodate hostnames associated with advertised services on the SOA bus.
- one or more of the IP services may be configured to implement various additional routing protocols (e.g., multi-path routing) and Quality-of-Service (QoS) functionality to achieve efficient and effective IP packet routing between the IP services.
- additional routing protocols e.g., multi-path routing
- QoS Quality-of-Service
- IP address conflicts between advertised services may be detected by determining if another service or device with the same IP address has the same or a different unique ID. If the IP address has the same unique ID, no conflict exists. Otherwise, an IP address conflict to be resolved may be detected.

- various devices 1 15 may communicate with the core network 225 through one or more base stations 205. Additionally, certain devices 1 15 may establish peer-to-peer communications with each other. A group of such devices 1 15 may cooperate with each other to establish a peer-to-peer network. For example, device 115-e, device 115-f, and device 1 15-g may leverage a peer-to-peer connection between device 1 15-e and device 1 15-f and the peer-to-peer connection between device 1 15-f and device 1 15-g to establish a peer-to-peer network between the three devices 1 15.

- difficulties may arise in routing Internet traffic from a network node that does not have an Internet connection (a non-gateway node) to a network node that has such Internet connection (a gateway node).
- gateway node services of the adjacent gateway node may be utilized in the manner described above.
- multi-hop scenarios involving non-gateway nodes that are not adjacent to gateway nodes require additional solutions described below with reference to FIGS. 13-20.
- FIG. 14 illustrates example blocks executed by gateway and non-gateway nodes to implement Internet-informed routing by modification of existing routing mechanisms in the ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV) routing standards.
- AODV ad hoc on-demand distance vector
- Typical AODV routing provides for routing mechanisms for in-subnet routing.
- an indefinite destination is added to the destination field of the AODV internet route request message packets.
- a non- gateway node sends out the internet route request message to its neighbor nodes.
- the gateway node responds with its own address and a gateway flag.
- Each node that forwards the gateway node's response from the gateway node to the non-gateway node, from which the request originated, will update its gateway pointer to the address of the gateway node. Accordingly, when internet access is desired at a non- gateway node, the non-gateway node will have the appropriate routing information to obtain an access path to the Internet through the gateway node associated with its gateway pointer.
- the nodes of the ad hoc peer-to-peer network may be adapted to implement different procedures according to their respective roles in a given Internet routing procedure.
- Such a node may be adapted to operate in one of multiple different modes, as at block 1400, depending on whether its role in the Internet routing procedure is to operate as a source non-gateway node, an intermediate non-gateway node, or a gateway node. For example, if the node wishes to transmit Internet packets over the Internet, but lacks an Internet connection, then the node may operate in a source non-gateway node mode, in which case processing may begin at block 1402.
- the node may operate in an intermediate non-gateway node mode, in which case processing may begin at block 1404. Further, if the node has received an Internet route request from a neighbor node, and if it does have an Internet connection, then the node may operate in a gateway node mode, in which case processing may begin at block 1406. [0121] At block 1402, if a source non-gateway node already knows a suitable destination address for a gateway node, then the source gateway node may transmit IP packets based on that information.
- the source non-gateway node may send an Internet route request (I-RREQ).
- I-RREQ Internet route request
- the source non-gateway node may send the I-RREQ to a destination IN_ADDR_ANY (e.g., all zeros), which may be defined in the modified AODV protocol as a non-specific address that triggers sending of I-RREQ message over the network by a flooding technique.
- the non-gateway nodes may be adapted to transmit and forward a route request message having the non-specific destination address to all neighbor nodes, excepting those neighbor nodes from which it receive the I-RREQ, or from which it received an identical I-RREQ.
- the I-RREQ message may be identical to a typical AODV route request message (RREQ), excepting that the destination address is IN-ADDR_ANY (all zeros).
- the network nodes and/or gateway nodes may further be adapted to distinguish an I-RREQ from an RREQ based partly or entirely on the IN_ADDR_ANY destination address. Processing at the source non-gateway node may proceed from block 1402 to 1418.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may receive the I-RREQ that was sent by the source non-gateway node at block 1402. If the intermediate non- gateway node is a neighbor of the source non-gateway node, then the intermediate non- gateway node may receive the I-RREQ directly from the source non-gateway node. Alternatively or additionally, the intermediate non-gateway node may receive the I- RREQ from another non-gateway node. It is envisioned that the intermediate non- gateway node may receive multiple copies of the I-RREQ from multiple, different neighbor nodes. Processing at the intermediate non-gateway node may proceed from block 1404 to block 1408.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may update and relay the I- RREQ to other neighbor nodes according to the flooding technique, as previously described. It is envisioned that, in the event that multiple copies of the I-RREQ were received from multiple, different neighbor nodes, the intermediate non-gateway node may selectively update and relay the I-RREQ to other neighbor nodes based on one or more predefined criteria, such as first I-RREQ received, lowest hop count, shortest relay path, or combination thereof. It is alternatively or additionally envisioned that the intermediate node may edit, update, and forward the I-RREQ in the same manner defined for RREQ in the existing AODV standard, excepting for the forwarding according to the flooding technique, as described above. Processing at the intermediate non-gateway node may proceed from block 1408 to block 1412.
- the gateway node may receive the I-RREQ from one or more neighbor nodes. It is envisioned that the gateway node may distinguish the I-RREQ from a typical AODV RREQ by the non-specific destination address. Processing at the gateway node may proceed from block 1406 to block 1410.
- the gateway node may respond to a received I-RREQ by sending an Internet route reply message (I-RREP) to the neighbor node from which it received the I-RREQ.
- I-RREP Internet route reply message
- the gateway node may respond to all of the I-RREQs.
- the gateway node may preferentially respond to less than all copies of an I-RREQ based on one or more predefined criteria, such as first I-RREQ received, lowest hop count, shortest relay path, or combination thereof.
- the I-RREP may have a destination address of the gateway node and a gateway indicator, such as a set gateway flag.
- the gateway indicator may be defined in the modified AODV protocol as a flag, field, hash, encryption, mask, or any other type of distinguishing characteristic that permits nodes of the network to distinguish the I-RREP from a typical AODV route reply message (RREP). Stated differently, it is envisioned that the I-RREP may be identical to a typical AODV RREP, excepting that the I-RREP has the gateway indicator. Processing at the gateway node may proceed from block 1410 to block 1426.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may receive the I-RREP having the destination address of the gateway node and the gateway indicator, as described above.
- the I-RREP may also have a hop count, relay path, and other information typical of an RREP of the AODV protocol.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may distinguish the I-RREP from a typical AODV RREP based on the gateway indicator, and may proceed from block 1412 to block 1414 on that basis.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may receive multiple I-RREPs in response to the same I-RREQ, and that originate from multiple, different gateway nodes.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may make a determination whether to respond to such an I-RREP based on one or more predefined criteria, such as first I-RREP received, lowest hop count, shortest relay path, or combination thereof.
- the source non-gateway node may process all I-RREPs received.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may update its gateway pointer to the destination address of the gateway node contained in the I-RREP. It is envisioned that the intermediate non-gateway network node may have one or multiple gateway pointers, and may instantiate new gateway pointers, update or expire existing gateway pointers, and/or prioritize gateway pointers based on one or more predefined criteria. Example criteria may include most recent I-RREP received, lowest hop count, shortest relay path, presence or lack thereof of low mobility nodes in the relay path, quality of service of an Internet connection via the gateway node, or combinations thereof. Processing at the intermediate non-gateway node may proceed from block 1414 to block 1416.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may relay the I-RREP to the neighbor node specified in the relay path of the I-RREP. Before doing so, the intermediate non-gateway node may edit and update the I-RREP in the same manner as a typical AODV RREP is processed, such as updating the hop count, and other procedures as will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art. Processing at the intermediate non-gateway node may proceed from block 1416 to block 1424.
- the source non-gateway node may receive the Internet route response (I-RREP) from a neighbor node.
- the source non-gateway node may distinguish the I-RREP from a typical AODV RREP based on the gateway indicator, and may proceed from block 1418 to block 1420 on that basis.
- the source non-gateway node may receive multiple I-RREPs in response to the same I-RREQ, and that originate from multiple, different gateway nodes.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may make a determination whether to respond to such an I-RREP based on one or more predefined criteria, such as first I-RREP received, lowest hop count, shortest relay path, or combination thereof.
- the source non-gateway node may process all I-RREPs received.
- the source non-gateway node may update its gateway pointer to the destination address of the gateway node contained in the I-RREP. It is envisioned that the source non-gateway network node may have one or multiple gateway pointers, and may instantiate new gateway pointers, update or expire existing gateway pointers, and/or prioritize gateway pointers based on one or more predefined criteria. Example criteria may include most recent I-RREP received, lowest hop count, shortest relay path, presence or lack thereof of low mobility nodes in the relay path, quality of service of an Internet connection via the gateway node, or combinations thereof. Processing at the source non-gateway node may proceed from block 1420 to block 1422.
- the source non-gateway node may perform routing operations to send and receive IP packets to and from the address associated with its gateway pointer.
- the source non-gateway node may use tunneling to mask the actual Internet destination of transmitted IP packets with the destination address of its gateway pointer. When the IP packets are tunneled, the transmission is addressed to a specific gateway node.
- the source non- gateway node may send the IP packets toward the destination address associated with the gateway pointer, and do so without tunneling. When the IP packets are sent without tunneling, the source non-gateway node may send the IP packets to its neighbor in the path associated with the destination address of its gateway pointer, but allow the IP packets have an Internet destination.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may perform routing operations to relay IP packets between source non-gateway nodes and a gateway node.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may receive tunneled IP packets having a destination address of a particular gateway node. In this case, the intermediate non-gateway node may simply forward the IP packets to the destination address of the particular gateway node.
- the intermediate non- gateway node may receive IP packets that are not tunneled, and that therefore have an Internet destination. When IP packets are received that have an Internet destination, the intermediate non-gateway node may check its own gateway pointer or pointers for a more desirable gateway than the originally-addressed gateway node.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may perform routing operations to forward the IP packets to an address associated with its own gateway pointer.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may potentially reroute received IP packets having an Internet destination to a different gateway node.
- Tunneling Internet-destined packets allows for greater use of existing AODV routing mechanisms, as the transmitted packets appear to be specifically addressed to nodes within the subnet. However, while the packets are masked from any intermediate nodes along the transmission route, tunneled packets may not benefit from potential gateway re-routing during the journey.
- the gateway node may perform routing operations to receive IP packets from the source non-gateway node.
- Block 1426 may include receiving tunneled or non-tunneled IP packets directly from the source non-gateway node, and/or receiving tunneled or non-tunneled packets from an intermediate non-gateway node. If the IP packets are tunneled, then the gateway node may un-tunnel the IP packets by unmasking the destination address of the IP packets, thereby obtaining the Internet destination of the received IP packets. Processing at the gateway node may proceed from block 1426 to block 1428.
- the gateway node may transmit and receive IP packets over the Internet.
- the gateway node may obtain or assign an IP address for receiving IP packets intended for the source non-gateway node, and may use the Internet destination and the obtained or assigned IP address to transmit the IP packets over the Internet, and receive IP packets over the Internet that are intended for the source non-gateway node.
- the gateway node may distinguish these IP packets from other received IP packets on the basis of the destination address corresponding to the IP address obtained or assigned for receiving IP packets intended for the source non- gateway node. Processing at the gateway node may proceed from block 1428 to block 1430.
- the gateway node may perform routing operations to send IP packets, to the source non-gateway node, that were received over the Internet and intended for the source non-gateway node. It is envisioned that the gateway node may use tunneling to send the IP packets to the source non-gateway node by masking the destination address of the received IP packets with the destination address of the source non-gateway node. As mentioned above, tunneling IP packets received over the Internet allows for greater use of existing AODV routing mechanisms, as the transmitted packets appear to be specifically addressed to nodes within the subnet. Accordingly, the source non-gateway node may, at block 1422, receive the IP packets either directly or indirectly from the gateway node.
- the source non- gateway node may receive the IP packets from a neighbor node that did not participate as an intermediate non-gateway node in relay of the I-RREQ, I-RREP, and IP packets destined for the Internet or gateway node. It is also envisioned that intermediate non- gateway node may, at block 1424, receive the IP packets and relay the IP packets to the source non-gateway node.
- FIG. 15 illustrates an example of operation of ad hoc peer-to-peer network nodes according to the modified AODV implementation.
- three non- gateway nodes 1500, 1502, and 1504 exchange messages with one another. These non- gateway nodes also exchange messages with gateway nodes 1506 and 1508. These message exchanges are performed in order to carry out Internet informed routing of Internet-destined IP packets according to this aspect of the disclosure.
- non-gateway node 1500 wishing to transmit IP packets to the Internet, and not already knowing a suitable Gateway node destination address, may generate a I-RREQ as described above, and transmit the I-RREQ to its neighbor nodes at 1510.
- Non-gateway node 1502 may receive the I-RREQ from non-gateway node 1500, and may forward the I-RREQ to all other neighbors at 1512.
- non-gateway node 1504 may receive the I-RREQ from non-gateway node 1502, and may forward the I-RREQ to all other neighbors at 1514.
- gateway node 1506 may receive the I-RREQ from non- gateway node 1514, and may respond by transmitting, at 1516, an I-RREP to a neighbor node in the relay path.
- Nodes in the relay path may relay the I-RREP while updating their gateway pointers to the destination address of the gateway 1506. For example, upon receiving the I-RREP from gateway node 1506, the non-gateway node 1504 may update its gateway pointer to the destination address of the gateway node 1506, and forward, at 1518, the I-RREP to the next neighbor node in the relay path. Additionally, non- gateway node 1502, upon receiving the I-RREP from non-gateway node 1504, may update its gateway pointer to the destination address of the gateway node, and forward, at 1520, the I-RREP to the next neighbor node in the relay path.
- non-gateway node 1500 upon receiving the I-RREP from non-gateway node 1502, may update its gateway pointer to the destination address of the gateway node. Accordingly, all of the non-gateway nodes 1500, 1502, and 1504 in the relay path may have pointers updated to the destination address of gateway node 1506. [0138] Once the non-gateway nodes 1500, 1502, and 1504 have associated the destination address of the gateway node with their respective gateway pointers, any of those non-gateway nodes may utilize their respective gateway pointers to attempt to route received IP packets to the gateway node 1506. For example, at 1522, non- gateway node 1500 may use its gateway pointer to send and receive IP packets to and from the gateway node 1506, with or without tunneling.
- non-gateway nodes 1502 and 1504 may utilize their respective gateway pointers to forward the IP packets to the gateway node 1506. Thereafter, non-gateway node 1502 may also wish to send IP packets to gateway node 1506, and may use its gateway pointer to attempt to do so at 1524. This attempt may fail for any one of various reasons, such as gateway node 1506 going offline, leaving the area, losing its Internet connection, or failing to provide sufficient quality of service.
- the non-gateway node 1502 may respond to failure of the attempt at 1526 by sending an I-RREQ to all neighbors at 1526 and 1528.
- the non-gateway node 1504 may receive the I-RREQ from non-gateway node 1504, and relay the I-RREQ, at 1530, to a new neighbor gateway node 1508.
- the new neighbor gateway node 1508 may receive the I-RREQ and respond by transmitting, at 1532, an I-RREP to non-gateway node 1504.
- Non-gateway node 1504 may update its gateway pointer to the destination address of the gateway node 1508, and may forward the I-RREP, at 1534, to non- gateway node 1502.
- Non-gateway node 1502 may then update its own gateway pointer to the destination address of the gateway node 1508, and use the updated gateway pointer, at 1536, to send Internet-destined IP packets to gateway node 1508, either with or without tunneling.
- non-gateway node 1502 does not forward the I-RREP to non-gateway node 1500, because non-gateway node 1502 is at the end of the relay path. Also, non-gateway node 1500 merely discarded the I-RREQ that it received from non-gateway node 1502 because it has no other neighbor nodes. Accordingly, non-gateway node 1500 never received any I-RREP except for the I-RREP it received at 1520 from gateway node 1506. Therefore, the gateway pointer of non-gateway node 1500 may still point to gateway node 1506.
- non-gateway node 1502 may use its updated pointer to reroute the IP packets, at 1540, to gateway node 1508, with or without tunneling.
- non-gateway node 1500 may update its gateway pointer to the destination address of gateway node 1508, and continue to send and receive IP packets, at 1542, to and from gateway node 1508.
- FIG. 16 illustrates example blocks executed by gateway and non-gateway nodes to implement Internet-informed routing by using the unmodified AODV routing and lists of potential gateway nodes. These lists are maintained and updated at non- gateway nodes in response to SOA bus announcements of gateway node capabilities. As a gateway node joins the SOA bus, it broadcasts an announcement of its capabilities as a gateway node. Each non-gateway node on the SOA bus creates a list of potential gateways based on the announcement. When the non-gateway node desires to establish an Internet connection, one of the gateway nodes is selected from the maintained list of potential gateways. Because the non-gateway node has the definite address information in the list, it may follow the typical AODV routing mechanism in order to route to the specific gateway node.
- the nodes of the ad hoc peer-to-peer network may be adapted to implement different procedures according to their respective roles in a given Internet routing procedure.
- Such a node may be adapted to operate in one of multiple different modes, as at block 1600, depending on whether its role in the Internet routing procedure is to operate as a source non-gateway node, an intermediate non-gateway node, or a gateway node. For example, if the node wishes to transmit Internet packets over the Internet, but lacks an Internet connection, then the node may operate in a source non-gateway node mode, in which case processing may begin at block 1602.
- the node may operate in an intermediate non-gateway node mode, in which case processing may begin at block 1604. Further, if the node has received an Internet route request from a neighbor node, and if it does have an Internet connection, then the node may operate in a gateway node mode, in which case processing may begin at block 1606.
- the gateway node may announce Internet connectivity as a service on the SOA bus. This announcement may be accomplished in the manner previously described. Processing at the gateway node may proceed from block 1606 to block 1608.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may receive the SOA bus messages regarding Internet connectivity.
- the receipt of the SOA bus messages may be accomplished in the manner previously described. Processing at the intermediate non- gateway node may proceed from block 1604 to block 1610.
- the source non-gateway node may receive the SOA bus messages regarding Internet connectivity.
- the receipt of the SOA bus messages may be accomplished in the manner previously described. Processing at the source non- gateway node may proceed from block 1602 to block 1612.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may update its list of potential gateway nodes based on the SOA bus messages. It is envisioned that the intermediate non-gateway node may instantiate new gateway pointers, update or expire existing gateway pointers, and/or prioritize gateway pointers based on one or more predefined criteria. Example criteria may include lowest hop count, presence or lack thereof of low mobility nodes in the relay path, quality of service of an Internet connection via the gateway node, or combinations thereof. Processing at the intermediate non-gateway node may proceed from block 1610 to block 1614.
- the source non-gateway node may update its list of potential gateway nodes based on the SOA bus messages. It is envisioned that the source non- gateway node may instantiate new gateway pointers, update or expire existing gateway pointers, and/or prioritize gateway pointers based on one or more predefined criteria. Example criteria may include lowest hop count, presence or lack thereof of low mobility nodes in the relay path, quality of service of an Internet connection via the gateway node, or combinations thereof. Processing at the source non-gateway node may proceed from block 1612 to block 1616.
- the source non-gateway node may perform routing operations to send and receive IP packets to and from a destination address selected from its list of potential gateway nodes. The routing may be accomplished, with or without tunneling, in the manner previously described.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may perform routing operations to relay IP packets between a source non-gateway node and a gateway node. The routing may be accomplished, with or without tunneling, in the manner previously described.
- the intermediate non-gateway node may select a destination address from its own list of potential gateway nodes, thus giving rise to potential rerouting of the IP packets.
- the gateway node may perform routing operations to receive Internet-destined IP packets from the source non-gateway node.
- the routing may be accomplished with or without tunneling, in the manner previously described.
- Processing at the gateway node may proceed from block 1608 to block 1618.
- the gateway node may transmit and receive IP packets over the Internet.
- the transmission and receipt of IP packets of the Internet may be
- Processing at the gateway node may proceed from block 1618 to block 1620.
- the gateway node may perform routing operations to route IP packets received from the Internet to the source non-gateway node.
- the routing may be accomplished, with or without tunneling, in the manner previously described.
- FIG. 17 illustrates an example of operation of ad hoc peer-to-peer network nodes according to the unmodified AODV implementation.
- three non- gateway nodes 1700, 1702, and 1704 exchange messages with one another. These non- gateway nodes also exchange messages with gateway nodes 1706 and 1708. These message exchanges are performed in order to carry out Internet informed routing of Internet-destined IP packets according to this aspect of the disclosure.
- gateway node 1706 may, via the SOA bus, broadcast SOA announcements 1710, 1712, and 1714 of its gateway capabilities to non-gateway nodes 1700, 1702, and 1704, respectively.
- Each of non-gateway nodes 1700, 1702, and 1704 may update their respective lists of potential gateway nodes in response to the SOA bus announcements 1710, 1712, and 1714. Thereafter, any of these non-gateway nodes 1700, 1702, and 1704 may select the destination address of gateway node 1706 from their respective lists, and route IP packets 1716 to gateway node 1706, with or without tunneling. [0154] Non-gateway nodes 1700, 1702, and 1704 may update their lists based on various criteria, such as quality of service of an Internet connection provided by gateway node 1706.
- non-gateway node 1700 may not be privy to information regarding quality of service of such a connection that may be observed by another non-gateway node, such as non-gateway node 1702. Additionally, further SOA bus announcements 1718, 1720, and 1722, may commission new gateway nodes, such as gateway node 1708, and decommission existing gateway nodes, such as gateway node 1706. It should be understood that some non-gateway nodes may receive SOA bus announcements more quickly than other nodes. Thus, non-gateway nodes 1700 and 1702 may have different lists, and non-gateway node 1702 may have reason to regard its list as better informed than the list of non-gateway node 1700.
- non-gateway node 1702 may use its more reliable list to reroute the IP packets, at 1726, to gateway node 1708.
- non-gateway node 1700 may update its list to add the destination address of gateway node 1708, and remove, expire, or demote the destination address of gateway node 1706.
- non-gateway node 1702 may sometimes reroute received IP packets based on quality of service information that may not be appreciated by downstream non-gateway node 1704, non-gateway node 1702 may use tunneling to direct the rerouted IP packets to gateway node 1708. For the same reasons, non-gateway node 1700 may additionally switch to a tunneling mode for sending packets to gateway node 1708.
