“…The distance-vector multipath networkbalancing routing algorithm is used for two reasons: first it is able to reduce delay (Vutukury & Garcia-Luna-Aceves, 2001); (Vutukury & Garcia-Luna-Aceves, 1999 -a); (Vutukury & Garcia-Luna-Aceves, 1999 -b); secondly, thanks to its multipath peculiarity, it increases the robustness of the architecture to external attacks and interceptions. In fact, if a path is (maliciously or not) shielded, or its quality is temporally degraded, all the packets flowing through it are lost; however, the application of the multipath networkbalancing routing algorithm guarantees that a high percentage of packets are able to reach the Video Decoder block, and therefore frames can be decoded, by applying an error concealment video decoding algorithm (Lee et al, 2002); (Pei & Chou, 2004); (Tsekeridou & Pitas, 2000). Mesh nodes are implemented as software routers running on low-cost computers with the Click Modular Router (Click); (Morris et al, 1999) on a Linux Platform.…”
