Despite its source routing overhead, the protocol exhibits particular properties that make it an optimal choice for multi-path routing where multiple paths are discovered for each destination. The alternative paths can either be stored for error recovery situations or used in parallel to improve the throughput. In this paper we present a study of 10 uni- and multi-path DSR variants in a wireless mesh network testbed. A modified ETX metric is proposed for an improved link quality measurement. The experiments are evaluated considering the routing-overhead and packet delivery ratio with focus on the route discovery.}, doi = {10.1109/WD.2010.5657758}, issn = {2156-9711}, keywords = {IETF;WMN;error recovery;mobile ad hoc networks;modified ETX metric;multipath dynamic source routing;packet delivery ratio;routing protocols;source routing overhead;unipath dynamic source routing;wireless mesh network;mobile ad hoc networks;routing protocols;wireless mesh networks;}, owner = {blywis}, timestamp = {2010.09.13}, }
