Adaptive Routing in Disrupted Environments: A Study on OSPFv3’s Recovery Time in Ad Hoc Wireless Networks

This paper investigates the application of the Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPFv3) routing protocol within a Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) environment, focusing on its performance metrics under specific failure scenarios. Specifically, authors examine the network’s resilience and recovery time in two critical situations: main route path failures and main node failures. Through rigorous testing and analysis, authors quantify the time required for routing recovery in each scenario, shedding light on OSPFv3’s effectiveness and adaptability in ensuring seamless communication amidst potential disruptions. The findings from this study provide valuable insights into optimizing OSPFv3 deployments in dynamic ad hoc wireless networks, enhancing their reliability and responsiveness under adverse conditions.
