Study and Performance of Mobile Ad Hoc Routing Protocols ◾ 81
When we want to use one of these protocols, we must take into account whether we prefer a
reliable communication or a more efficient communication. We believe that the best option will
be that which maintains a balance between both security and efficiency; in this situation, the
nodes do not have to perform many asymmetric cryptographic operations when they are routing
the nodes. If asymmetric operations are necessary, only the sender and receiver nodes should make
these operations.
4.5 Routing Protocols Performance
In this section, we show the simulations performed and discuss the measurements taken from the
performance comparison test of AODV, DSR, and OLSR in order to know which ...
