Analyzing Routing Protocol Performance with Nctuns for Vehicular Networks

Vehicular networks are an emerging field of study that brings many new features to support road transportation. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of three well-known routing protocols in vehicular networks, using NCTUns, a popular network simulator. We study those protocols by changing different metrics such as node mobility, number of vehicles, traffic pattern, and number of RSUs. We also report the total elapsed time for simulations and memory consumption with the aim of guiding researchers in their selection of an adequate routing protocol for large simulation scenarios using NCTUns in vehicular networks.
