Abstract:
When considering the performance of an ad hoc network, and the impact of routing protocols on it, one factor at play is the time required for setting up the forwarding path. This delay can make a significant impact on the estimate of the steady state throughput particularly when the data transmissions during the performance evaluation are short and the routing path changes often. In this short paper, we quantify the difference in the forward path detection time for two sample routing protocols: one proactive and the other reactive. Our results show significantly shorter path set up times for the Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) vs Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) protocol.
