Ad-Hoc Routing: Performance Comparison
n Conclusions of study:
each protocol performs well in come cases and has
drawbacks in others
DSR performs predictably
n delivers virtually all data packets at low mobility rate and
speed
n fails to converge as node mobility increases
AODV performs nearly as well as DSR at all mobility
rates and speeds
n accomplishes its goal of eliminating source routing overhead
n requires transmission of many routing overhead packets
n is more expensive than DSR of high rates of node mobility
