Multi-Topology Routing for QoS Support in the CoNSIS Convoy MANET Mariann Hauge 1 , Jon Andersson 2 , Margrete A. Brose 1 , Jostein Sander 1 1 Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), Kjeller, Norway, {Mariann.Hauge, Margrete-Allern.Brose, Jostein.Sander}@ffi.no 2 Thales Norway AS, Oslo, Norway, Jon.Andersson@thalesgroup.com Abstract: This paper shows how Multi-Topology (MT) routing is used to maintain three different network topologies in the heterogeneous land mobile network architecture used in the Coalition Network for Secure Information Sharing (CoNSIS) project. The topologies are each associated with one or more quality of service (QoS) classes to provide differentiated QoS in this disadvantaged grid. A proposal for how to connect a Multi-Topology routing protocol to adjacent Single-Topology (ST) interior gateway protocols and exterior gateway protocols is also given. Keywords: multi-topology routing; QoS; admission control; MANET; OSPF; IPv6) I. Introduction In a coalition operation the participating nations will typically bring their national radio equipment into the theater. Usually the equipment will comprise of a wide selection of brands and technologies, depicting the normally long lifetime of radio systems. These radios will most likely not be compatible on the air, and if they are, they will not have compatible security solutions, management or services for the end user. The main goal of the multinational Coalition Network for Secure Information Sharing (CoNSIS) project is to solve these interoperability issues. CoNSIS proposes solutions to improve interoperability in all the above mentioned areas. This paper presents the Multi-Topology routing concept as used by CoNSIS to provide differentiated QoS in the land mobile network that utilizes many different transmission technologies for internal communication as well as reach-back to the deployed headquarters. To provide a reliable network for different operation types and in varying terrains, a tactical mobile network infrastructure must consist of a variety of wireless network types, e.g., long-range communication for reach-back connections The authors have copy right of all figures in the paper “Multi-Topology Routing for QoS Support in the CoNSIS Convoy MANET”.
