Shukla Shilpa, Sharma Shelja, Kumar Suresh . Study and Analysis of DSR and SASR Protocols in MANET. International Journal of Computer Applications. 73, 10 ( July 2013), 34-40. DOI=10.5120/12780-9403
Mobile ad-hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes forming an instant network characterized by wireless links, dynamic topology and easy deployment. Random movement of nodes imposes challenges on the network resource. In this paper, we have critically analyzed the performance of DSR and its variant SASR. With the use of Sequence Number SASR, can prevent the Stale route information across the network and block their use in Route Reply. Whereas DSR can circulate the stale route information in the absence of Sequence Number, resulting in conflicting Route Discovery. Study reveals that SASR prevents spreading of Stale Route information, improving the performance as compared to DSR in terms of both Packet Delivery Ratio and Bandwidth utilization.
