Abstract

We present an improved method for analyzing route establishment in ad hoc routing protocols. An efficient abstraction for Propagating Localized Broadcast with Dampening (PLBD) is developed. Applying this result we are able to verify networks and topology changes for ad hoc networks up to the limits currently envisaged for operational mobile ad hoc networks (MANETS). Results are reported for route discovery in the Lightweight Underlay Network Ad hoc Routing protocol (LUNAR) using UPPAAL and we provide an outline of how similar verifications can be conducted for DSR.
