Challenges and limits of flooding and gossip routing based route discovery schemes
Bastian Blywis, Mesut Guenes, Felix Juraschek, Oliver Hahm · 2011
Motivated by our experience from previous testbed-based studies, we discuss the performance of flooding based route discovery schemes. Based on an empirical case study, the limits of routing in IEEE 802.11 wireless multi-hop networks are highlighted. We show that the route discovery itself can already lead to problems even when there are no or few data flows.
