Simulation and Analysis of MANET Routing Protocols
This assignment involves simulating and analyzing two mobile ad hoc network (MANET) routing protocols. The focus is on the analysis part and you will learn how to aggregate, visualize and analyze the data generated from the simulation.
The simulation tool is ns-2.
You will also use other tools such as Perl and Gnuplot. See Resources below for more information on those tools.
