Abstract
In Mobile Ad-hoc Networks(MANETs), enabling
communication among different domains is becoming one of
the areas of research topics as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
is not adequate to support MANETs (Mobile Ad-hoc Networks).
BGP does not scale to mobile and topological environment
14. So there is a need to develop an efficient inter-domain
routing protocol for heterogeneous MANETs. This is to
improve the connectivity of the nodes present in different
domains. Gateways as special nodes must be used for Inter-
Domain communication which acts as bridge between domains
and they play a major role in route updation, protocol
translation and policy enforcement. Due to mobility of nodes,
gateway functionality must be assigned dynamically for nodes
as static assignment will not be effective. In this paper an
attempt has been made to select minimum number of
gateways. Nodes in different domains can communicate
through the selected gateways. Data transmission occurs
through minimum hops (minimum geographical distance) and
least load path.
