Hi
I am a phd student
I perform code for ad-hoc network using tcl (NS2), with number of nodes=50.
I want to evaluate the performance of DSDV, AODV, DSR routing protocols.
I made different mobility file by using different pause time , and I used different traffic files.
I chosed end to end delay and packet delivery ratio as a metrics.
I want to measure the path optimality which is the difference between the number of hops a packet took to reach its destination and the length of the shortest path that physically existed through the network when the packet was originated.
I don’t know how to measured the path optimality, I read that in some papers that it can be measured by using java parser code i really have no idea a bout how to compile java in NS2
I need your help to guide me to know how I can measure the path optimalty
I really appreciate your help.
