Abstract

The analytical model of BitTorrent Enabled Ad hoc Network (BEAN) routing protocol (unicast extension of Multi-cast BEAN - MBEAN routing protocol) is discussed for a random network. The source node forms multiple routes to destination differentiating each route by it's neighbor and sends packets through the best route. When a link or route fails, the source node chooses one of the existing alternate routes. This paper compares the throughput obtained analytically with that obtained in simulation for both AODV (Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector) and BEAN routing protocols. Further simulations are run for realistic cases and the two protocols are compared for packet delivery ratio (PDR) and system throughput. The results show that, in spite of expending more time and control packets in finding a new route, BEAN performs as good as and in many cases, better than AODV, for a network with high density, in terms of throughput and PDR, thereby making it a potential unicast routing protocol for multicast applications.
