Abstract
The main ad hoc routing protocols that were proposed generally provide only flat networks. However the Internet has always been of a hierarchical nature, for scalability and manageability reasons. This paper therefore introduces a simple mechanism providing dynamic clustering with OLSR, one of the MANET routing solutions, chosen for its ease of integration in the Internet infrastructure. This clustering can have many different applications. This work describes how it can be used to provide hierarchical routing with OLSR. However, it is not limited to this use.
