Performance Evaluation of DSDV, AODV, and DSR

In this report, I just show the simulation scripts to compare the performance of DSDV, AODV, and DSR. More information about these adhoc routing protocols can be found on the Internet or books.

Performance metric: Packet Delivery fraction (The ratio of the data packets delivered to the destinations to those generated by the sources)

(AWK paring program --- getRatio.awk)

BEGIN {

sendLine = 0;

recvLine = 0;

fowardLine = 0;

}

$0 ~/^s.* AGT/ {

sendLine ++ ;

}

$0 ~/^r.* AGT/ {

recvLine ++ ;

}

$0 ~/^f.* RTR/ {

fowardLine ++ ;

}

END {

printf "cbr s:%d r:%d, r/s Ratio:%.4f, f:%d \n", sendLine, recvLine, (recvLine/sendLine),fowardLine;

}

Before running simulation, we have to use the tools to generate the traffic and scenario patterns.

1. Traffic pattern (change the path to ~ns\indep-utils\cmu-scen-gen)

In this example, traffic models were generated for 50 nodes with CBR traffic sources, with maximum connections of 10 at a rate of 8kbps.

(-rate 2.0: in one second, 2 packets are generated. The packet size is 512 byte. Therefore the rate is 2*512*8=8kbps)

2. Scenario pattern (change the path to ~ns\indep-utils\cmu-scen-gen)

In this example, mobility models are created for the simulations using 50 nodes, with pause time of 0 seconds, maximum speed of 20m/s, topology boundary of 500x500 and simulation time of 100 secs.

After creating the traffic and scenario pattern files, copy them to the place where you put the adhoc.tcl.
