Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerformance Evaluation of Modified AODV for Load BalancingAmita Rani, Mayank DaveAODV is a prominent routing protocol for MANET that uses hop count as a path selection metric. However, AODV has no means to convey traffic load on current route. This study focuses on introducing a new metric, Aggregate Interface Queue Length (AIQL), in AODV in order to deal with load balancing issues. Performance evaluation through simulation shows that the modified … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
