After simulating the DSR protocol
with 50 nodes for 900 seconds for different scenarios,
I discovered that there are a lot of
routing overheads. For example, when I used a scenario
of 1500x300 with 0 pause time and
together with a connection file of 10 sources, I get a total
of over 110, 000 routing overhead packets! This is in great contrast to the 13,000 packets
in CMU's performance comparison test.
The way I calculated the overhead is by counting
the number of DSR routing packets
transmitted and forwarded.
Another strange thing is that I
noticed a lot of packets dropped due to strange reasons. An
example is a line in the output trace
file:
D 71.748561683 _17_ IFQ ---
1848 cbr 96 [0 2e 11 800] ------- [17:0 18:0 32 46] [237] 0
2
The reason for the drop is
"---" ???
Can anyone help me on these two
problems? Thank you.
