Simulation Results (continued)
l 27% to 43% improvement in number of dropped packets
due to link breakage
l The number of control messages increased by less than
25% (remember MobiCom paper: 200%)
l High mobility scenarios show consistent improvement
(across all seven repetitions)
l Average packet latency not worse (though often better)
l No change to hop count ratio: paths as good as in
unmodified version of DSR (metric: shortest path)
