Relative analysis of AODV & DSDV routing protocols for MANET based on NS2

Abstract

To design any wireless network, routing and protocol selection are of important consideration. In Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANET), routing protocols should have best throughput with minimum delay. So the performance in critical situations is the main concern of mobile networks. In this paper, wireless network of mobile nodes has been designed with defined parameters and the relative analysis is carried out on Adhoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Destination Sequenced distance Vector (DSDV) protocols using NS2 simulator. The Throughput of generating and receiving packets, Jitter on sending and receiving side and End to end delay are the common parameters used for the comparison.
