Mobile Ad hoc Networking : Routing Protocol Performance Issues and Evaluation Considerations
RFC 2501, “Mobile Ad hoc Networking : Routing Protocol Performance Issues and Evaluation Considerations”, is an Informational document published in January 1999 by S. Corson, J. Macker. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo first describes the characteristics of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), and their idiosyncrasies with respect to traditional, hardwired packet networks. It then discusses the effect these differences have on the design and evaluation of network control protocols with an emphasis on routing performance evaluation considerations. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
