Effect of Packet Size on the Delay in Manhattan Street Network in NS2

The paper presents the effect of packet size on the delay in Manhattan Street Network (MSN). The delay behavior of Manhattan Street Network for packets of different size is demonstrated. The results are produced in the NS2 simulator. It is concluded that the increase in the packet size increases delay and as a result degrades the performance in multipath, multihop networks like MSN .The performance can be improved by taking account of appropriate packet size for available bandwidth at each link node and thus reducing the delay in the network.
