Ad hoc networks are receiving more and more attentions these years due to their flexibility. This paper introduces the setup of a wireless testbed based on IBM laptops and Cisco wireless cards, discusses the implementation of multipath source routing on Linux Redhat system and provides the measurement results. The performance evaluation of multipath source routing was conducted and compared with dynamic source routing protocol. We demonstrate by experiment that a little bit more overhead can enhance performance and give a more effective source routing.
