Abstract

With the communication evolution to the all Internet protocol (IP) architecture to support tactical environments using joint tactical radio system (JTRS), significant new IP routing challenges exist. Mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) has been in development for many years now, however, existing MANET protocols have not been designed to scale to the size or proportions of the transformation communication architecture (TCA) vision. This paper describes a potential IPv6 addressing and routing architecture vision for tactical users in a notional TCA era where satellite and aircraft routing gateways exist. The paper also identifies routing protocol deficiencies that exist in current and planned MANET and traditional routing protocols.
