However, the most results have been made in artificial environments. In this paper we study the performance of state of the art routing protocols for mobile multi-hop ad-hoc networks in an environment which emulates a city downtown. The studied simulation environment differs in three aspects from that of well known: i) The used mobility model emulates a city downtown with several zones and different mobility models. ii) The number of mobile nodes and the number of connections is inspired from real traces. iii) We use duplex-connections.}, institution = {International Computer Science Institute (ICSI)}, owner = {guenes}, timestamp = {2007.08.23}, }
