MANET Broadcast Storms
In a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), route request (RREQ) packets are usually broadcast to discover new routes. These RREQ packets may cause broadcast storms and compete over the channel with data packets. One approach to alleviate the broadcast storm problem is to inhibit some hosts from rebroadcasting to reduce the redundancy, and thus contention and collision.

“You don’t need to pray to God any more when there are storms in the sky, but you do have to be insured.”
