Abstract: A Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is Multi Administrative Domain (MAD)
if each network node belongs to an independent authority, that is each node
owns its resources and there is no central authority owning all network nodes.
One of the main obstructions in designing Service Advertising, Discovery and
Delivery (SADD) protocol for MAD MANETs is the fact that, in an attempt to
increase their own visibility, network nodes tend to flood the network with
their advertisements. In this paper, we present a SADD protocol for MAD MANET,
based on Bloom filters, that effectively prevents advertising floods due to
such misbehaving nodes. Our results with the ns-2 simulator show that our SADD protocol is
effective in counteracting advertising floods, it keeps low the collision rate
as well as the energy consumption while ensuring that each peer receives all
messages broadcasted by other peers.
