Conclusions
nTraffic Balancing: find routes based on perceived
network load
nWork done in NS2, but we also have driver modifications for Atheros MADWiFi driver to collect information in
live networks
nSimulation results: increases End-to-End Capacity
(higher packet delivery ratio,
lower packet latency)
ØCompared to minimum-hop-count pro-active routing
protocols (AODV, DSR)
ØCompared to other load balancing routing protocols
nCompared to theoretical bounds: still room for improvement:
ØLoss due to control message overhead
ØLoss due to dropped packets
ØSuboptimal routes
