INETMANET Routing Protocols

[Eamon Millman]

Hello all,

Part of my research has me evaluating how multiple routing protocols
behave within a large MANET (360 hosts).

I have been able to get DYMO_UM, DYMO_FAU and AODV_UU working just
fine with my simulation model to date, but I am experiencing issues
related to DSR_UU and OLSR.

In particular with OLSR it appears that hello and topology change
messages are being sent at the correct interval but no datagram
routing is occurring, only 1 hop communications succeed.

All i have done in my network is to update the
manetmanager.routingProtocol parameter and to declare the default
config parameters for each of the routing protocols I'm using.

I'm fairly certain that I am missing something minor but I am unable
to identify it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The OLSR protocol needs a long time for build the routing tables. It's
necessary to propagate the topology to every node of the network. If your
source begins the transmission immediately after the beginning of the
simulation the OLSR protocol doesn't have yet information about the topology

that would do it, thanks.

Is there any rule of thumb about how long the OLSR protocol will need
to construct the routes?

This is the problem of OLSR, if the diameter of the network is big it takes
a long time to converge
