Review Paper on AODV & DSR Routing Protocol

Mobile Ad hoc network is network where nodes communicate without any central administration or network infrastructure. They are connected via wireless channels and can use multiple hops to exchange data. Routing protocols are needed for communication in such Ad hoc networks, where it targets for efficient and timely delivery of message. There are various performance metrics to compare Ad hoc routing protocols. In this paper, a step by step procedure is stated to compare two popular routing protocols, DSR, AODV based on performance metrics Packet Delivery Fraction (Pdf), End to end delay and Normalized Routing load while varying the number of nodes, speed and Pause time. It also provides a step by step approach based on assumption on how to carry out such a comparative study, which could be used for future research.
