TORA is a very good protocol but it is not preferred as it is quite complex and its was designed to scale to large networks while this thesis project is concentrating on small to medium sized networks. The qualities of AODV and DSR appear similar, but studies have shown that DSR has the edge over AODV in terms of number of packets successfully delivered under conditions of high node mobility and movement speed without significant expense in routing overhead bytes resulting from storing the entire route in the packet header [2]. Also simulation results have shown that DSR has an overhead of 1% for moderate movement rates in a network of 24 mobile nodes and in most cases the route lengths are within a factor of 1.01 of optimal [4].
