A Multipath Routing Protocol Based on Bloom Filter for Multihop Wireless Networks

Table 1

Route classification based on ns and nn values.

Type	Description
N_Route	A path (to the source) in the route cache that has a different neighbor of source (ns) value from that of the primary path; a node-disjoint path with the highest priority
O_Route	A path that has the same ns value as that of the primary path, but whose next node (nn) value does not exist in the primary path; an overlapped path with the medium priority
L_Route	A path that is 1-hop away from the route included in the RREP2 message; a loop route with the lowest priority
