PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF VARIOUS TYPES OF NODES IN MANET WITH DSR ROUTING PROTOCOLS

Day by day, wireless communication popularity growi ng fast, it has led wireless communication data rat es higher and made its prices cheaper, that’s why wireless communication is growi ng so fast. The latest technological demands now a day’s arising from laptops, wireless devices such as wireless local area networ ks (LANs) etc. In this paper we compared different types of node in MANET like static nodes, dynamic nodes and dynamic nodes with trajectory by using Dynamic routing protocol (DSR) and compared the performance of these nodes by using OPNET simulator 14.5. The performance is evaluated under different parameters like Data Dropped (Retry Threshold Exceeded), Load, Media acc ess delay and Network Load by using FTP load.
