The Hazy-Sighted Link State Routing Protocol (HSLS) is a wireless mesh network routing protocol being developed by the CUWiN Foundation.
 This is an algorithm allowing computers communicating via digital radio in a mesh network to forward messages to computers that are out of reach of direct radio contact.
 Its network overhead is theoretically optimal, utilizing both proactive and reactive link-state routing to limit network updates in space and time.
 Its inventors believe it is a more efficient protocol to route wired networks as well.
 HSLS was invented by researchers at BBN Technologies.
The Better Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking (B.A.T.M.A.N.) is a routing protocol for multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks which is under development by the German "Freifunk" community and intended to replace the link state routing protocol - OLSR.
Link State Packet (LSP) is a packet of information generated by a network router in a link state routing protocol that lists the router's neighbors.
 Link state packet can also be further defined as special datagrams that determine the names of and the cost or distance to any neighboring routers and associated networks.
 They are used to efficiently determine what the new neighbor is, if a link failure occurs, and the cost of changing a link if the need arises.
 LSPs are queued for transmission, and must time out at about the same time.
 They must be acknowledged, and can be distributed throughout the network, but cannot use the routing database.
The Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) is an IP routing protocol optimized for mobile ad hoc networks, which can also be used on other wireless ad hoc networks. OLSR is a proactive link-state routing protocol, which uses "hello" and "topology control" (TC) messages to discover and then disseminate link state information throughout the mobile ad hoc network.
 Individual nodes use this topology information to compute next hop destinations for all nodes in the network using shortest hop forwarding paths.
Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) is a family of multicast routing protocols for Internet Protocol (IP) networks that provide one-to-many and many-to-many distribution of data over a LAN, WAN or the Internet.
 It is termed "protocol-independent" because PIM does not include its own topology discovery mechanism, but instead uses routing information supplied by other routing protocols. PIM is not dependent on a specific unicast routing protocol; it can make use of any unicast routing protocol in use on the network.
 PIM does not build its own routing tables. PIM uses the unicast routing table for reverse path forwarding.
BBN Technologies (originally Bolt, Beranek and Newman) is an American high-technology company which provides research and development services.
 BBN is based next to Fresh Pond in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
 It is a military contractor, primarily for DARPA, and also known for its 1978 acoustical analysis for the House Select Committee on the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
 BBN of the 1950s and 1960s has been referred to by two of its alumni as the "third university" of Cambridge, after MIT and Harvard.
 In 1966, the Franklin Institute awarded the firm the Frank P. Brown Medal.
Protocol-dependent modules (PDMs) are used by the routing protocol EIGRP to make decisions about adding routes learned from other sources; for example other routers or routing protocols to the routing table.
 In fact EIGRP has the capability for routing several different protocols including IPv4 and IPv6 using protocol-dependent modules (PDMs).
 The PDM is also capable of carrying information from the routing table to the topology table.
 EIGRP offers support for various routed protocols (e.g. Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), IP, IPX, AppleTalk), and has added support for Service Routing (SAF) PDMs.
 The only other routing protocol that comes with support for multiple network layer protocols is Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS).
TRILL ("TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links") is an IETF Standard implemented by devices called RBridges (routing bridges) or TRILL Switches.
 TRILL combines techniques from bridging and routing and is the application of link state routing to the VLAN-aware customer-bridging problem.
 RBridges are compatible with and can incrementally replace previous IEEE 802.1 customer bridges.
 They are also compatible with IPv4 and IPv6 routers and end nodes.
 They are invisible to current IP routers and, like routers, RBridges terminate the bridge spanning tree protocol.
ZHLS-GF (Zone-Based Hierarchical Link State Routing Protocol with Gateway Flooding) is a hybrid routing protocol based on ZHLS.
 In ZHLS, all network nodes construct two routing tables, an intra-zone routing table and an inter-zone routing table, by flooding NodeLSPs within the zone and ZoneLSPs throughout the network.
 However, this incurs a large communication overhead in the network.
 In ZHLS-GF, the flooding scheme floods ZoneLSPs only to the gateway nodes of zones thus reduces the communication overhead significantly.
 Further, in ZHLS-GF only the gateway nodes store ZoneLSPs and construct inter-zone routing tables therefore the total storage capacity required in the network is less than ZHLS.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol for Internet Protocol (IP) networks.
 It uses a link state routing (LSR) algorithm and falls into the group of interior gateway protocols (IGPs), operating within a single autonomous system (AS).
 It is defined as OSPF Version 2 in RFC 2328 (1998) for IPv4.
 The updates for IPv6 are specified as OSPF Version 3 in RFC 5340 (2008).
