A Simulation-Based Performance Analysis of Dynamic Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

This work will show a comparative performance analysis of the DSR, AODV, and OLSR dynamic routing protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (known as MANET). We utilize the Network Simulator (NS) version 2 to simulate a mobile network environment under different circumstances of average node mobility and network traffic volume. This way, we quantitatively evaluated protocols performance.
