Design Routing Protocol Performance Comparison in NS2: AODV comparing to DSR as Example

There are already many projects try to tell us how to use NS-2 easily, while not as that difficult as its official manual says. However, how to easily use NS-2 to do performance evaluation is still lacking. Usually, a trace file which comes out from one time NS-2 simulation is larger than 600MB, to analysis this huge file definitely will cost great time. Till now, there are many evaluation methods, but use them is very time cost and may not exactly what the simple version we want. This paper is to let people who use NS-2 can easily do the work of network post simulation. Thus make it easier and faster in making NS-2 more practical. Furthermore, this paper apply this performance evaluation method on the comparison of two on-demand source routing protocols AODV and DSR, and shows DSR is somewhat suitable for sensor work applications
