In this paper, we address high mobility AdHoc networks resource discovery problem. We use a virtual dynamic overlay network to perform broadcast flooding task optimization. Two new flooding techniques are proposed and compared with a global flooding strategy, and, a classical flooding scheme using source routing. Experimental results, obtained by several simulations implemented on ns-2, discourage the use of source routing in high mobility MANETs, and show that most of the times, floodingoptimization techniques could achieve best successful resource discovery rates than using global or sourcerouting flooding.
