Hierarchically Segmented Routing Protocol for MANETs Sarosh Patel and Khaled Elleithy Department of Computer Science & Engineering University of Bridgeport {saroshp, elleithy}@bridgeport.eduAbstract- With the rapid advances in wireless and semiconductor technologies mobile connectivity became cheap and ubiquitous. One ofthe major challenges facing Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (also known as MANETs) is the absence of a proper routing protocol thatprovides good scalability, low overhead, low end-to-end delays, seamless connectivity and good quality of service.

This non-intuitive nature of E&Mfields has been consistently one of the main obstacles for generations of engineering students intheir study of optics and E&M wave theories. On the other hand, optics and E&M wave theoriesare now becoming key components of core engineering knowledge as they have becomeincreasingly important in modern industries and electrical engineering practices. Optical fibernetworks, for example, are the backbone of the Internet and voice communications. Optical fibercommunications relies heavily on photonic and opto-electronic technologies.
