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