Intra-flow interference
Intra-flow interference is interference between intermediate routers sharing the same flow path. Consider as an example that flow path 1 occurs through A-B-C, while flow path 2 occurs through D-E-F, however if router B and E are located adjacent to each other, then flow path 1 will interfere with flow path 2.
In wireless routing, routing protocol MIC[1] and iAWARE[2] incorporate consideration to the intra-flow interference metric.
