Self-Organized Networks (SONs) are a general description of autonomous networks without infrastructure, of which Ad Hoc, Sensor and Mesh networks are special cases. We had previously proposed a novel clustering architecture for SONs, named Taroko, that utilizes a fixed description of cluster routing tables to cope with SON's characteristics. Taroko uses trellis graphs to provide addressing/locating and routing capabilities for the SON, while providing a built-in multi-path routing scheme and redundancy in the addressing space. This paper focuses on comparing Taroko to AODV and OLSR in terms of both control and data plane metrics. The simulation results show that Taroko performs well, especially in the presence of large numbers of sources.
