摘要：Recently, quality-of-service routing in dynamic, wireless multi-hop ad hoc networks becomes a hot research topic, and various QoS protocols are proposed Even so, popular QoS routing protocols rarely provide multiple routes. Once links break due to node mobility, establishment of new routes leads to large control overhead and more end-to-end delay. In MANETs to support multimedia applications such as video and voice require an efficient routing protocol and quality of service (QoS) mechanism. Node-Disjoint Multipath Routing Protocol (NDMR) is a practical protocol in MANETs: it reduces routing overhead dramatically and achieves multiple node-disjoint routing paths. In MANETs QoS support is an important issue as best-effort routing is not efficient for supporting multimedia applications. This paper presents a novel adaptation of NDMR, QoS enabled NDMR, which introduces agent-based SLA management. This enhancement allows for the intelligent selection of node-disjoint routes based on network conditions, so fulfilling the QoS requirements of Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
