Routing in MANETs Chris Bargren, Brad Bootz, Kevin Leeds, Michael Pfeister

Inroduction  Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs)  Routing

Motivation & background  Networks class!  Personal experience  Prevalence of wireless networks  Fault locality  Voting and leader selection  Other approaches

Problem statement  What tradeoffs exist between different routing protocols in MANETs?

Approach  Simulate multiple routing protocols  NS2 – The Network Simulator

Results and analysis  Scalability  Routing table recovery time

Discussion  Different protocols for different scenarios  How well protocols handle scenarios they are not specifically designed around

Conclusion  No conclusion yet  Our plan  Balance workload  Run simulations  Analyze results
