Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have become one of the popular key technology and solution for the new wireless implementation especially for wireless end user. One of the widely used routing protocols in WMNs is Ad-Hoc OnDemand Distance Vector (AODV) protocols. In this paper, we investigate the performance of AODV in situations of link failures due to mobility of nodes and consequent route recovery mechanism using ns2 simulators. We defined a different set of threshold for routing protocols to do local repair based on the link breaks location with respect to the total number of hops from source to destination. Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and Normalized Routing Load (NRL) or overhead were used as performance metrics in our simulations. For link-failure detection, HELLO message and Link Layer Feedback (LLF) were used separately in the simulations. Simulations were done by varying the number of sourcedestination pair and speed of the mobile node.
