Subject: [manet] Promiscuous mode in DSR

Hello everybody,
   
  I had a question regarding the promiscuous mode in DSR. As far as I understand the nodes employing the DSR protocol are able to disable filtering on their Network Interface Cards (NICs) so that they can monitor link failures and the rapid changing network topology. 
   
  My question is: during employing this mode, is there any type of MAC messages used? And if the answer is NO, then what is the reason for the large MAC overhead introduced for nodes using a DSR protocol compared to others using AODV for example?
   
  Kind regards,
  Amr
