Afiliación de protocolos proactivos y jerárquicos en NS-2.

Abstract

Abstract:Mobile networks, thanks to not needing a network infrastructure as a particular feature, they have become one of the most used nowadays, researchers around the world are largely focused on the analysis of this type of networks, mainly in communications optimization by routing protocols. Among the problems found in the analyzes on MANET networks (Mobile ad hoc network), there is battery wear, lag, packet loss, etc. There is little research in relation to the parameter of node affiliation, that concerns the processes performed by the intermediate nodes, by propagating a communication all the way to a final destination node. The objective of this research is to analyze the parameters of affiliation (duration and occurrence) that proactive and hierarchical routing protocols experience in their operation, over MANET networks with NS2 (Network Simulator-2) as a simulation tool. These parameters allow knowing the extent of affiliation and the possible relationship on the performance and behavior of the selected protocols.
