How to use DSDV routing protocol in NS2?

Description

The reactive on demand routing protocols establish the route to a particular destination only if it is needed. Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) is one of the commonly used reactive on demand routing protocols in mobile ad hoc network (MANET). DSR is a loop-free, source based, on-demand routing protocol in which each node maintains a route cache consisting of source routes known by the node. A source node initiates a fresh route discovery process only if it does not already have a valid route to the destination in its route cache. The entries in the route cache are regularly updated as new routes are known. The sample16.tcl shows a node configuration for a wireless mobile node that runs DSR as its adhoc routing protocol. Prior to the establishment of communication between the source and receiver node, the routing protocol should be mentioned to find the route between them. Data Transmission is established between nodes using UDP agent and CBR traffic.
