ABR was invented in 1993, filed for a USA patent in 1996, and granted the patent in 1999. ABR was invented by [[Chai Keong Toh]] while doing his Ph.D. at Cambridge University. In the 1990s, our Internet iswas still largely wired. Toh was working on a different Internet – that of a rapidly deployable, infrastructureless, self-organizing, self-configuring mobile Internet. The challenges in such a network is mobility of nodes and link dynamics. Toh's prime argument is that there is no point in choosing a node to route packets if the route is unstable or going to be broken soon. So, he introduced a new routing metric (known as associativity ticks) and the concept of associativity, i.e., link stability among nodes over TIME and SPACE. Hence, ABR was born.
