Abstract
One embodiment provides a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET). The MANET includes a plurality of mobile nodes and a centralized controller node. The controller node includes a receiving mechanism configured to receive, from a source mobile node, a request for a service, with the request including an identifier associated with the requested service; an identification mechanism configured to identify a destination mobile node that provides the service associated with the identifier; a path-computation mechanism configured to compute a path between the source mobile node and the destination mobile node using a network graph for the mobile nodes; and a path-sending mechanism configured to send the computed path to at least the destination mobile node, which facilitates establishing a route between the source mobile node and the destination mobile node.
