Impact of Mobility on Performance of P2P Content Discovery Protocols Over MANET

AbstractOne of the challenges over mobile ad-hoc networks is content discovery. P2P content discovery techniques including structured and unstructured can be employed in MANETs by considering its special characteristics and limitations. The most important characteristic of MANETs is the mobility of the nodes which creates a dynamic topology. Hence, this article evaluates both structured and unstructured content discovery protocols by different types of mobility models. After evaluation, simulation results clarified the significant role of mobility model on performance of P2P content discovery protocol
