Abstract
This chapter proposes an open-service platform based on an IP metropolitan mesh network suitable for multimedia services in an all-IP network environment. To guarantee mobile applications in the metropolitan mesh network simulated, the authors evaluated the five most prominent mobile ad hoc network (MANET) routing algorithms: Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (DSR), Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR), Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA), and Geographic Routing Protocol (GRP). The metropolitan mesh network architecture is based on the IEEE 802.16-2004 Standard that supports the IP protocol and the interaction with MANET protocols. The MANET routing protocols are evaluated in terms of delivery ratio, MANET delay, routing overhead, overhead, WiMAX delay, WiMAX load, and WiMAX throughput. Results show that proactive routing algorithms are more efficient than the reactive routing algorithms for the IP metropolitan-mesh network simulated.
