A performance comparison of MDSDV with AODV and DSDV routing protocols
Ali Abdalla Etorban, Peter J. B. King, Phil W. Trinder · 2009
We present a systematic comparative evaluation of a new multipath routing protocol for MANETS. The new protocol, called Multipath Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (MDSDV) is compared with two known protocols DSDV and AODV. MDSDV finds disjoint paths which do not have any common nodes between a source and destination, and we outline some adaptation of MDSDV over previous work. We evaluate the protocols on a range of MANETS with between 10 and 80 nodes, either static or highly dynamic nodes, and slow, medium or fast node speeds. The protocol comparison metrics are Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF), end-to-end delay, and data dropped.
