A Review On Load Balancing In Data Routing Of Wireless Sensor Networks


Dinesh Kumar Gupta and Dr. Deepika Pathak

Abstract

Load balancing is a standard functionality of the router software and it is available across all router platforms. It is inherent to the forwarding process in the router and is automatically activated if the routing table has multiple paths to a destination. It is based on standard routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), RIPv2, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), or derived from statically configured routes and packet forwarding mechanisms. It allows a router to use multiple paths to a destination when forwarding packets in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN).
