👉 IOR, or Integrated Object-Oriented Routing, is an advanced routing protocol designed for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) that combines the principles of object-oriented programming with traditional routing protocols. It aims to enhance network efficiency and scalability by treating network entities—such as nodes and links—as objects with specific attributes and behaviors. This approach allows for more flexible and dynamic management of network resources, enabling better handling of mobility, topology changes, and resource constraints. IOR supports encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, which facilitate the creation of modular and reusable routing policies. By leveraging these object-oriented concepts, IOR can adapt to varying network conditions and optimize data routing paths more effectively than traditional protocols, leading to improved performance and reliability in complex, dynamic environments.
