This paper presents a performance analysis for an improved Beacon Vector Routing (BVR) protocol. BVR algorithms are useful for point-to-point routing in wireless sensor networks. The original BVR algorithm is compared through performance analysis to improved three-phase fault-tolerant BVR, known as FBVR-Opt. Finally, FBVR-Opt is compared against an existing fault-tolerant routing technique, known as LRR.The simulator assumptions and performance analysis are discussed. Performance metrics include throughput, latency, overhead, and routing success rate in the presence of multiple node failures. FBVR-Opt is found to significantly improve routing success and throughput in the presence of multiple simultaneous node failures.
