In this chapter, we study the application of dissimilarity metrics in order to improve the discovery phase of reactive routing protocols. The goal is to reduce the number of route request packets sent by the routing protocol to find a route between a source node and a destination node. Although we selected AODV as the example for the study of the performance, the approach is on principle applicable to all reactive routing protocols.
