Abstract
A multi-hop wireless network system is disclosed that includes a plurality of routing nodes configured to route packets transmitted from a source node to a destination node. In the preferred embodiments, the plurality of routing nodes are configured to perform capture and analysis by only a last routing node before the destination node. Among other things, the system and method provides a efficient method for performing intrusion detection or other processing in a multi-hop wireless network.
Claims22
A multi-hop wireless network system, comprising:
- a) a plurality of routing nodes configured to route packets transmitted from a source node to a destination node;
- and
- b) said plurality of routing nodes being configured to perform capture and analysis by only a routing node proximate the destination node.
A method for efficient processing in a multi-hop wireless network system, comprising:
- a) routing packets received from a source node via a plurality of routing nodes configured to wirelessly route packets toward a destination node;
- and
- b) performing capture and analysis of said packets at only one of said routing nodes prior to transmission to the destination node.
A wireless routing node for a multi-hop wireless network, comprising:
- a) said wireless routing node being configured to check a destination address in a packet transmitted from a source to a destination and wirelessly routed via the wireless routing node;
- and
- b) said wireless routing node being configured to perform capture and analysis of the packet only if the destination address matches a next hop address.
