Description:

Research on multi-path routing protocols to pro-vide improved throughput and route resilience as comparedwith single-path routing has been explored in details in thecontext of wired networks. However, multi-path routing mech-anism has not been explored thoroughly in the domain of adhoc networks. In this paper, we analyze and compare reactivesingle-path and multi-path routing with load balance mecha-nisms in ad hoc networks, in terms of overhead, traffic distri-bution and connection throughput. The results reveals that incomparison with general single-path routing protocol, multi-path routing mechanism creates more overheads but providesbetter performance in congestion and capacity, provided thatthe route length is within a certain upper bound which isderivable. The analytical results are further confirmed bysimulation.
