“…The study showed that the most significant parameter that affects the routing overhead is the size of the network, followed by pause time, node speed, and traffic load. Similarly, the authors in [10] employed the Taguchi approach to investigate the drop rate performance of DSR and AODV routing protocols. In the same work various parameters of network performance (routing protocol, node density, node speed, traffic load, and pause time) are considered to analyze the factors and interactions for the network performance of DSR and AODV routing protocols by determining various metrics (packet delivery ratio, average delay, discovery time, and recovery time) using a factorial design.…”
