Evaluation of simulation results.

ScenarioReceived packetsDelayOverhead

First scenario towards pause timeM-AODV has the highest received packets. Then ABL and finally AODV had good behavior. AODV had the most delay, then ABL, and at the end M-AODV had the lowest delay.Except at the 200th sec, the most overhead belonged to ABL, then AODV, and at the end to M-AODV.

Second scenario towards the number of nodesM-AODV had the best results in packet received category. ABL had almost better results than AODV.AODV had the most delay. M-AODV had the least. AODV-ABL was in between.Overhead in the simulation with 60 and 90 nodes was almost equal. In other situations AODV had the most overhead, then ABL, and finally M-AODV.
