The systems and methods described herein include, among other things, processes for providing low latency packet transport in ad hoc networks. To this end, the systems, in certain embodiments, employ an architecture for communication nodes in MANETs, in which the delay introduced in “routing” or...http://www.google.de/patents/US8027289?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US8027289 - Ultra-low latency packet transport in ad hoc networks
