The document summarizes a study on measuring the performance of the Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) routing protocol in wireless ad hoc networks using a multicost parameter approach. It proposes a Multicost Parameters Based DSDV (MPB-DSDV) routing protocol that uses multiple cost parameters such as hop count, interference, delay, energy, and transmission power to select optimal paths. The study simulates DSDV and MPB-DSDV and compares their performance based on metrics like packet delivery ratio, dropped packets, end-to-end delay, routing overhead, and route length. The results show that MPB-DSDV outperforms regular DSDV on most metrics due to its ability to
