Quality of Service and Performance Evaluation of Proactive and Reactive Routing Protocols in MANET using Exata 5.1

Abstract

Mobile Adhoc Network is a self-configuring network in which the nodes can communicate with other node without getting help from the network infrastructure. For forwarding packets each node in the network can work both host and router. Various routing protocols like Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Adhoc On demand Distance Vector, Destination Sequence Distance Vector (DSDV) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) have been proposed. In this work the performance comparison of DSR and RIP routing protocols has been made by considering fault node and without fault node. The simulation is done to analyze different parameters of routing protocols like average delay, throughput, average jitter, number of packets enqueued and dequeued etc., using EXATA Network Simulator version 5.1.
