Performance Evaluation of DYMO Protocol in Different VANET Scenarios

In this work, we evaluate the performance of DYMO routing protocol in different VANET scenarios. We investigate the effect of density and speed in the performance of communication between nodes using different node densities and speeds for the same simulation area. As evaluation metric, we use Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR). The simulation results have shown that with the increasing of the nodes density the probability of finding a path between communicating nodes is high and the PDR is increased. When the speed of nodes is increased, DYMO protocol tents to do most of the communication with less hops.
