S9|E24 Enabling Mobile Communication with Cisco Radio Aware Routing

Cisco Champion Radio

Cisco Radio Aware Routing addresses several of the challenges faced when merging IP routing and radio communications in mobile networks, especially those exhibiting ad hoc (MANET) behavior. This technology has applications in the defense industry as well as state and local government for search and rescue, law enforcement, and disaster assessment. Our existing routing protocols such as OSPFv3 and EIGRP need to adjust their path metrics very quickly to maintain a cohesive operational network. The routing protocol also needs a way to get information from the radios, requiring a radio to router protocol that is delivered by Cisco Radio Aware Routing in the form of two open protocols, which we will discuss here. Tune in to this episode to learn how Cisco Radio Aware Routing provides capabilities that facilitate: Optimal route selection based on cross-layer feedback from cooperating radios Faster convergence when nodes join and leave the network Flow-controlled communications between the radio and its partner router Efficient integration of point-to-point, directional radio topologies with multihop routing Neighbor Up/ Down Status Related links https://blogs.cisco.com/internet-of-things/cisco-radio-aware-routing?dtid=opdcsnc001469 Follow us: twitter.com/ciscochampion Cisco Champion Hosts Alan Gardner, Current Technologies, CEO Jonathan Mahady (twitter.com/jonathan_mahady) BHP, Senior PCN Network Engineer Mike Bolitho (twitter.com/NetEngMike), CommonSpirit Health, Wireless Engineer Guest Frank Columbus, Cisco, Technical Marketing Engineer, IoT Networking Shawn Jury, Cisco, Systems Architect, Fed SOF Reg Moderator Amilee San Juan (twitter.com/amileesan1), Cisco, Customer Voices and Cisco Champion Program
