What is Routing

Chapter 11
Handbook of Research on Next Generation Mobile Communication Systems
The task of passing data through a network, from source to destination. This process is usually governed by a set of rules called a protocol.

Abstract
The improved availability of sensor nodes has caused an increase in the number of researchers studying sensor networks. More recently, the introduction of mobility to these networks has been able to find solutions and create applications that were previously not possible. For this reason, this chapter firstly introduces the topic of mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs). It then explores the potential applications of the technology and discusses the challenges and requirements of the communications systems with a focus on routing. It also looks at performance metrics and evaluation techniques in terms of mathematical analysis, simulations and testbed implementations.

Secure Routing with Reputation in MANET
A method of selecting a path (a chain of links between neighbouring nodes) from a source node to a destination node. One can distinguish two groups of protocols designed for MANET: reactive (on-demand) and proactive (table-driven). The first type tries to resolve a path to a destination node on the source node demand, whereas the second approach is more preventive and continuously keeps routing tables up to date by monitoring the nearest neighbourhood.

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: Protocol Design and Implementation
in packet-switching networks, routing is the function of a device (router) that decides the best path along which to send a received packet. Each packet is forwarded from the source to a router, and from this to the next, until reaching the desired destination. The router often uses a table with destination network addresses to decide where to send each packet. The format of this table and the way it is populated and possibly updated are specific to the different routing protocols adopted.

Optimizing Inter-Domain Internet Multicast
A means of discovering paths in computer networks along which information can be sent. Routing directs forwarding, the passing of logically addressed packets from their source toward their ultimate destination through intermediary nodes, called routers. Forwarding is usually directed by routing tables within the routers, which maintain a record of the best routes to various network destination locations. Thus, the construction of routing tables is important to efficient routing.

Municipal Solid Waste Management
The process of determining which is the best (cost-effective) or easiest way to collect waste from one point A to point B. Routing is a practical activity, which must be conducted at the site where the waste collection and transportation will be taking place. This is important because it helps to establish factors of consideration for the overall planning of waste collection business.
