An Inspection of MANET'S Scenario using AODV, DSDV and DSR Routing Protocols

Abstract

In this paper the Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) was considered for analyzing the performance of Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) of Proactive class and Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (DSR) of Reactive class. The protocols were simulated using the NS-2 (Network Simulator 2.35) package on Linux 12.04. The paper focuses on performance parameters e.g. Packet size, Speed, Packet rate, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) types and Number of Packets and energy in the network. Simulation results shows that DSR gives better performance as compared to AODV and DSDV. The results were compared for inspection of packet delivery rate, % Lost packets, throughput and Jitter on varying Packet size, TCP types, and the number of packets in queue by changing packet size. The implementation study can further extend by applying artificial algorithms in MANET for enhancing the better results in presence of any type of attacks too.
