1. A method for performing multi-hop peer-to-peer telecommunications on a wireless network, which includes a plurality of radio terminals, and topology of which changes moment by moment and, comprising the steps in which:

  • each radio terminal exchanges the link state with radio terminals capable of direct communications (said link state including only information on radio terminals within a predetermined number of hops), and constructs a routing table;

    a packet is prepared including a routing stack for storing intermediate routing information therefor whenever the packet passes through the terminals;

    a sender terminal designates a destination terminal to broadcast said packet;

    the radio terminals on the route, which receive said packet, write the intermediate routing information to said routing stack while transferring said packet to all radio terminals based on said routing table;

    the destination terminal which receives said packet returns said packet to said sender terminal through the route followed by said packet based on information in said routing stack; and

    said sender terminal which receives said packet unicasts a message to said destination terminal through the radio terminals on said route based on information in said routing stack included in said packet.
