OSPF-AN: an intra domain routing protocol for ambient networks

This short paper presents OSPF-AN protocol, an extension for OSPF protocol aiming for working in Ambient Networks. OSPF-AN adds services information in its database and messages, and as the original OSPF, will be applied in structured networks. This protocol could be applied together with other routing protocols in a scenario of dynamic networks. OMNet++ simulator was used to conduct simulation experiments, thus validating OSPF-AN.
