Inter-flow interference
In wireless routing, inter-flow interference refers to the interference between neighboring routers competing for the same busy channel. 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.
The inter-flow interference routing metric is incorporated in MIC[1] and iAWARE[2] wireless routing protocol.
