“…(5) E = (1, 2), (1,8), (7,8), (3,9), (6,7), (3,6), (3,4), (4, 5) (6) In MCST based broadcast network, all the nodes of an initial MANET network are connected but only reflected edges would be used to transmit control messages for route discovery. As an example, when node '1' is a source and node '9' is destination the control message will only flows through (1,2), (1,8,7,6,3,9) and (1,8,7,6,3,4,5) using MCST based broadcast network as shown in Fig.4(h) but according to MANET's base topology Fig.3 the control messages will flows through all the paths (1,2,3,9), (1,8,9), (1,8,7,9), (1,2,8,9) etc. In contrary, let source node is '1' and the destination node is '5', the path cost to travel the control message from a node (1, 5) is 37 according to Fig.4(h).…”
