Design and Simulation of an Optimized Link State Routing Mobile Network

Abstract

The thrust of this paper is the design and simulation of a Mobile Ad
hoc Network (MANET) model. The network was configured using
convenient parameters and routing was implemented via Optimized
Link State Routing (OLSR) Protocol. The MANET was configured for
communication using appropriate setup in Riverbed Modeler 17.5
simulation environment. The performance of the network model was
thereafter tested and analysed using appropriate statistics and
performance metrics such as Traffic sent, Traffic received,
Download Response amongst others. The results demonstrated that
OLSR is a convenient protocol for Mobile Ad hoc Network
deployments.
