[ns] link layer feedback and AODV
Hi!
I tried to simulate TCP over ad hoc networks, using AODV for routing.
I used a simple line topology with a single TCP flow (packetSize_
=1460, window_ =20, and MAC 802.11 RTS/CTS).
Enabling the local repair function I noticed the following problem:
In many cases the MAC layer reports link_layer_failure (cannot
obtain media for TCP packets) and triggers the AODV for a new route
lookup. Sometimes this problem occures even after the establishment
of a new route, thus a RREQ will be initiated again!
It is normal to have so many MAC layer retransmissions?
Any similar experiences with real WaveLAN testbeds?
Thanks in advance: Ati
