چکیده

The Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) is a highly adaptive distributed routing algorithm used in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) that is able to provide multiple loop-free routes to a destination. TORA is very dependent on the services provided by the Internet MANET Encapsulation Protocol (IMEP) to effectively carry out its three main functions: Route Creation, Route Maintenance, and Route Erasure. However, TORA does not scale well in networks with a large number of traffic connections compared to other MANET protocols. We performed a comprehensive analysis into the workings of IMEP to determine which behaviour of IMEP leads to the poor performance of TORA and narrowed down the problem in IMEP. We suggested two approaches to improve the operations of IMEP: by increasing the maximum number of object block message retransmissions and by using a random RETRANS PERIOD. In addition, two different variations of TORA were developed to solve some of its performance problems: the network localization approach and selective node participation approach. The IMEP modifications and TORA variations resulted in an overall improvement in terms of packet delivery, routing overhead and packet latency in a variety of network scenarios.

A Survey over the Critical Performance Analytical Study of the MANET Routing Protocols (AODV & TORA)

The mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is the ad-hoc technology for the automatic connectivity of the nodes in the network cluster. The MANETs are considered as the infrastructure less technology, which uses the peer-to-peer connectivity mechanism for the establishment of the inter-links between the network nodes. The MANET data is propagated over the paths established through the routing algorithms...

Comparative Performance Analysis of AODV,DSR, TORA and OLSR Routing Protocols in MANET Using OPNET

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are receiving a significant interest and are becoming very popular in the world of wireless networks and telecommunication. MANETs consist of mobile nodes which can communicate with each other without any infrastructure or centralized administration. In MANETs, the movement of nodes is unpredictable and complex; thus making the routing of the packets challenging....

Manet List on Evaluation 1 Manet Mail about Evaluation Temporally-ordered Routing Algorithm (tora) -vincent Park

Protocol comparison: Performance of TORA was compared to Ideal Link-State (ILS) and pure flooding. Since TORA often provides multiple downstream routes, a next-hop forwarding decision is required. Two different forwarding policies were evaluated: TORA for each packet randomly(based on uniform distribution) select one of the downstream neighbors to forward the packet to, and TORA LN forward all ...
