Abstract

A variety of ad hoc routing protocols based on a simple flooding routing method have been developed under the constraints of the limited transmission range of wireless network interfaces and other limited mobility resources in MANETs. In this paper we discuss the performance of a gossip-based routing and flooding protocol based on ad hoc on-demand routing protocols in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each protocol and suggest appropriate MANET environments for each routing protocol. To accomplish our goals, we selected six performance metrics: packet delivery fraction, average end-to-end delay of data packets, routing overhead, normalized routing load, throughput, and average node energy used. We performed simulations of three ad hoc routing protocols: AODV+G, AODV, and DSR, using the ns-2 network simulation tool.
