Abstract
Gossip routing is an approach to limit the overhead of flooding in wireless networks. Each node, that receives a packet that would normally be flooded, applies a probabilistic approach. The packet is either forwarded with probability or dropped with 1 − . This paper is a follow-up to our last study that evaluated the approaches by Haas et al. in the DES-Testbed, a wireless mesh network. Four different gossip routing variants were discussed which used static parameters to determine the value . In this study, we compare the proposals by four other entities and discuss whether they show an overall improvement regarding the two most important metrics in this domain: reachability and redundancy. We also discuss the assumptions and parameters of the simulation studies in the context of our experiments in a real world deployment.
