Mobile Unicast network is one hop network where the source node transmits traffic to one destination node characterized by movement in one direction at a time. This study evaluated the effect of nodal velocity on the UDP end-to-end delay in two different mobile unicast data networks (MUDNET) setups. Our setup for the two networks is the same using the network functionalities in our configurations as shown in table 1. We adopted Iperf as our management tool because it allows the tuning of various parameters, and reports UDP characteristics such as bandwidth, delay, and datagram loss. We observed a significant decrease in the delay of network 1 as nodal speed increases while keeping the server stationary and the client in motion in a given direction at a given time. However, in network 2 where the client is stationary and the server in motion, the result was similar but the effect was not pronounced as in network 1. Our result showed that the effect of nodal velocity on the delay of MUDNET can be minimized by keeping only the client stationary while the server can move at any velocity applicable.

UDP, MUDNET, Velocity, End-to-end delay, unicast
This study experimented on the effect of nodal velocity on
the UDP end-to-end delay in two different MADNET
unicast network setups. Our observation did not only show
the descendent effect of delay as the nodal velocity
increases but also showed that which of the node that
moves is a dominant factor that determines the rate at
which the delay decreases as the speed increases. The
effect of movement could be masked in network 2 by
putting only the server in motion. We recommend that
similar to the nodal velocity effect on the throughput in [4]
where the effect of velocity was masked when the server
was in motion; that to maintain the minimum effect on
delay with an increased rate of movement, the client
should be stationary while the server can move at any
speed practicable.
