Efficient Simulation Architecture for Routing and Replication in Mobile Peer to Peer Network of UAVs

Most of the routing and replication algorithms assume the network to be large and therefore, the architecture and algorithms are designed to be scalable. These algorithms however may not perform well with limited number of nodes in a network of UAVs. It is better to design and simulate such algorithms to increase the efficiency in a small network as scalability is no longer an issue. For such networks, we present design and simulation of some effective routing and replication algorithms to route packets, disseminate information, and replicate data among nodes.
