See full text

A mobile ad hoc network includes a plurality of wireless mobile nodes and a plurality of wireless communication links connecting the plurality of nodes together. The method of tracking traffic includes each node monitoring traffic communicated between nodes in the network, each node generating traffic information based upon how much traffic is being communicated between various nodes in the network, and each node storing the traffic information in a traffic database. The traffic information may be based upon bandwidth and may include at least one of error rate, end-to-end delay, end-to-end delay variation, hop count, expected path durability, and priority. Each node may discover and select traffic routes based upon the stored traffic information.
