Abstract
The Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) research aims at developing Internet routing protocols for networks of mobile nodes with limited resources. It has focused on discovering suitable basic routing algorithms in isolated, homogeneous MANET environments. Little emphasis has so far been given to practical usage scenarios and their implications to the MANET solutions.
Based on simple observations of some usage scenarios we claim that node and service attributes, access out of a MANET, and adaptability to different usage environments in practice are features important enough to be considered at the protocol level. In the ongoing Mobile Ad-hoc Routing Testbed (MART) project, a practical multi-protocol MANET environment is being implemented with support for some important service attributes, such as the access out of MANET.
