Abstract

Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) routing protocol is well suited for low condensed networks while Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) routing protocol is better suited for highly condensed networks. Taking advantage of such characteristics, in this paper the performance of DSR and TORA are evaluated while both are being deployed concurrently in the network. A Source node will be surrounded with a zone of nodes employing the DSR routing protocol while the remaining network nodes will run the TORA routing protocol. For a destination node residing outside the source node zone, throughput, overhead and delay is measured on OPNET.
