Performance Evaluation of Routing Protocols for MAC Layer Models

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) special characteristics is an inestimable addition to traditional networking technologies, and is presently under active research & development .MANET are basically peer-to- peer, multihop network which is a group of wireless mobile hosts forming a transient network that is having no fixed infrastructure. This paper encompasses the key studies carried out so far and describes all the parameters for simulation. In particular, draw comparisons among different routing protocols: Bellman-Ford, AODV, DSR, LAR1, WRP, FSR and ZRP based on the performance metrics like PDR, end-to-end delay and throughput. The study is carried out to investigate various statistics and highlights behavior of different routing protocols for several MAC layer protocols such as 802.11, CSMA, TSMA which gives rise to various performance issues using GloMoSim simulation environment. Finally, results show the unusual behavior when varying the number of nodes in the network layout and effects of switching among datalink models.
