CBRP,[1] or Cluster Based Routing Protocol, is a routing protocol for wireless mesh networks. CBRP was originally designed in mid 1998 by the National University of Singapore and subsequently published as an Internet Draft[2] in August 1998. CBRP is one of the earlier hierarchical ad-hoc routing protocols. In CBRP, nodes dynamically form clusters to maintain structural routing support and to minimize excessive discovery traffic typical for ad-hoc routing.
Many performance studies on CBRP have been conducted in the area of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET). CBRP is shown to perform moderately well in large and high density mesh networks[3][4][5]
