ABSTRACT: Mobile ad hoc networks use many different
routing protocols to route data packets among nodes. Various routing protocols
have been developed, and their usage depends on the application and network
architecture. This study examined several different routing protocols, and
evaluated the performance of three: the Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector
Protocol (AODV), the Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing (DSDV), and
the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). These three protocols were evaluated on a
network with nodes ranging from 50 to 300, using performance metrics such as
average delay, jitter, normal overhead, packet delivery ratio, and throughput.
These performance metrics were measured by changing various parameters of the
network: queue length, speed, and the number of source nodes. AODV performed
well in high mobility and high density scenarios, whereas DSDV performed well
when mobility and the node density were low. DSR performed well in low-mobility
scenarios. All the simulations were performed in NS2 simulator.
