We propose a component based modelling and
design strategy for the Neighborhood Discovery Component
(NDC) and the Selector of Topology Information to Disseminate
Component (STIDC) of proactive ad hoc routing protocols. The
NDC design strategy focuses on limiting the detection time and
removing time of network good and bad links respectively. The
STIDC strategy makes sure that only stable links with long
life time are selected as the topology information that will
be broadcasted in network. We provide analytic performance
analysis methods for both components and show that using the
proposed methodologies we can significantly reduce the overhead
of information dissas OLSR.
