Abstract:
In this paper, we perform a simulation and
performance study on some routing protocols for ad hoc
networks. Distributed Bellman-Ford, a traditional tabledriven
routing algorithm, is simulated to evaluate its
performance in multi-hop wireless networks. In addition,
an on-demand routing protocol (Dynamic Source Routing
(DSR)) with distinctive route selection algorithm is
simulated in a common environment to quantitatively
measure and contrast their performance. The final
selection of an appropriate protocol will depend on a
variety of factors, which are discussed in this paper.
