Performance Analysis of MANET Routing Protocols – A Comparative Study

Efficient routing has always been a matter of concern for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). While reactive protocols are competing with the performance of proactive protocols, hybrid protocols have attempted to brew the best of the both. This paper reviews some of the selected literature regarding MANET routing protocols and studies the comparative performance of different routing protocols such as (AODV, DSR DSDV FSR, ZRP and etc.) under different scenarios (varying number of nodes, mobility, traffic type and load). The results from these papers are then compiled together and summarized in the form of graphs comparing the QoS parameters including Packet Delivery Ratio, Average End to End Delay, Average Throughput and Normalized Routing Load. The study concludes that no single protocol fit all needs. For a given scenario, a protocol may be chosen depending upon the mobility, size and required QoS.
