Abstract :
This work classifies the current geocast routing protocols of a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) into three categories. We then simulate a typical geocast routing protocol in each category. We performed four studies designed to highlight the various strengths and weaknesses of the protocols: node density, traffic/congestion, mobility, and a combination study examining all three parameters together.
