“…[13], the authors compare a dominating set-induced mesh based multicast routing protocol for efficient flooding and control overhead and compare the protocol's performance with that of MAODV and ODMRP. In [14], the authors explore the use of genetic algorithms to optimize the performance the performance of tree and mesh based MANET multicast protocols with respect to packet delivery and control overhead. The impact of route selection metrics such as hop count and link lifetime on the performance of on-demand mesh-based multicast ad hoc routing protocols has been examined in [15].…”
