	abstract = {In this paper we describe our experience of implementing multicast extensions of AODV (MAODV). Using insight gained from our implementation we propose some enhancements to MAODV that enhance its stability and its performance. We propose the use of a tree optimization scheme based on Group Hello messages, a scheme for merging group partitions, as well as a method to add reliability to the multicast tree formation and maintenance, via the use of an acknowledgement for MACT messages. Our implementation is based on the kernel AODV implementation from NIST. We describe details regarding our implementation that can provide valuable insight to future implementers of ad hoc routing protocols, and in particular, people attempting to implement multicast routing protocols. We also provide a brief description of some basic validation experiments that we used to verify the functionality and the various features of our implementation.},

	abstract = {Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) are characterized by bandwidth constrained links, multiple hops, varying link qualities and highly dynamic topologies. In this paper, we evaluate the performance and analyze the traffic of a mobile ad-hoc network in a realistic setting. Using simulation, we provide results of performance evaluation in terms of various metrics. We study performance with scenarios of different propagation matrices, different traffic mixes, and different routing protocols (DSDV, DSR, AODV). The results show that in most cases, the performance is sensitive to the routing protocol, path loss, and traffic characteristics. This provides rationale and insight for choosing the right protocols to provide quality of service in terms of different metrics in different environments. Also, we find that in a MANET, we obtain long-range dependency traffic regardless of source file size distribution. This discovery will help in providing methodology to tackle the network dimensioning problem in ad hoc networks.},
