Abstract—Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a
self-configuring infrastructure less network of mobile nodes
connected by wireless links - the union of which form a random
topology. There are several IP routing protocols, with
competing features, developed for wireless ad hoc networks.
These protocols have varying qualities for different wireless
routing aspects. It is due to this reason that choice of a correct
routing protocol is critical. In this paper, two main questions
are addressed. The first is ‘Which routing protocol provides a
better performance in mobile ad hoc Networks?’ This question
addresses the overall performance of each routing protocol
investigated in this paper. The second question addresses the
factors that influence the performance of these routing
protocols.
In this paper, Three protocols ad hoc on-Demand Distance
Vector Routing (AODV) , Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and
Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) were
compared in terms of Average End-to-End Delay, Average
Throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio, Total Dropped Packets,
and Normalized Routing Load in different environment;
varying number of nodes and simulation Time. All simulation
result implement at network simulator-2 (NS-2.35).
Index Terms—Ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing
(AODV), destination-sequenced distance vector (DSDV),
dynamic source routing (DSR), and mobile ad hoc network
(MANET), and network simulator 2 (NS2.35).
