N2 - In this paper, we study the impact of using partial versus full topology in the OLSR routing protocol for MANETs. The core of OLSR is the notion of Multi-Point Relays (MPRs), serving the purpose of reducing the amount of link-state information, flooded to nodes in the network, as well as reducing the redundancy in the flooding process. The OLSR protocol specification contains a tunable parameter, MPR coverage, which adjusts the degree of redundancy in both the advertised link-state information, and the links over which the link-state information is advertised. We investigate the impact from assigning various values to this parameter. We further investigate two options for advertising additional link-state information: the "MPR full link-state" option implies that whenever a node is selected to declare any link-state in formation, it declares all its local link state information. The "full link-state" option states, that all nodes must declare all their local link-state information. Through simulations, we investigate the performance characteristics of OLSR with and without these options.
