Abstract

Critical MANET environments such as military battlefields and disaster recovery operations impose a number of requirements (such as the need for robustness and performance within high mobility scenarios), and constraints (hostile attacks, battery limitations, RF range and cost). This work evaluates and contrasts mesh core based multicasting protocols (DCMP, PUMA and ASHFIK). The metrics used in this work include packet delivery ratio and total overhead. In addition, the performance is determined based on number of senders, node mobility and multicast group size. In this paper we found many similarities between the features of critical MANETs and the core based routing protocols and we could conclude that the adaptive secure headship forward induction keeping (ASHFIK) protocol was suitable for most critical MANETs scenarios.
