Abstract
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of two WMN architectures considering throughput, delay, jitter and fairness index metrics. For simulations, we used ns-3. We compare the performance for two architectures considering transmission rate, uniform distribution and OLSR protocol. The simulation results show that for transmission rate 600 and 1200 [kbps], the throughput of HybridWMN is higher than transmission rate 100 [kbps]. For transmission rate 100 [kbps], the delay and jitter of Hybrid WMN is lower than other transmission rates. For transmission rate 100 [kbps], the fairness index of I/B WMN is higher than other transmission rates.
