Performance analysis of multi-hop ad-hoc network using multi-flow traffic for indoor scenarios

In this paper, we present the performance analysis of two link state routing protocols: OLSR and B.A.T.M.A.N.. We investigate the effect of mobility and topology changing in the throughput of a MANET testbed. We study the impact of best-effort traffic for two link state routing protocols. We also investigate the impact of multi-flow traffic in the network. Experimental time is 10 s. In this work, we consider three experimental models and we assess the performance of our testbed in terms of throughput, round trip time and packet loss. From our experiments, we found that B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol has better goodput than OLSR protocol. However, for mobile nodes, OLSR protocol has better goodput than B.A.T.M.A.N. protocol.
