Mobile Ad Hoc Network Routing Protocols: A Detailed Performance Examination of AODV, DSR and DSDV

ABSTARCT The latest technology MANETs is being studied widely and attracting a large variety of applications. Due to varying network topology, The most common challenging factor in MANET is routing [2][3]. In this research paper, we study the performance of reactive routing protocols, Ad hoc on demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and proactive routing protocol Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV). We study the performance of MANETs routing protocol in high mobility case under low, medium and high density scenario. It becomes important to study the noticeable effect of high mobility on the performance of these routing protocols. We examine in detail the performance of routing protocol with respect to Average End-to-End Delay, Normalized Routing Load (NRL), Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF) and Throughput. Simulation study with NS-2 confirms that AODV provide better performance as compared to DSR and DSDV
