Conclusions
lProposed & implemented Prediction Algorithm
lProposed & implemented pro-active route maintenance
in DSR
lSignificant reduction in dropped packets due to link breakage
lIncreased number of control messages does not cause network congestion
lNo negative impact on other routing protocol metrics
(hop count, packet
latency)
lIdea can be applied to other aspects as well, for
example cache maintenance (see
paper)
