A Survey on DSDV Routing Protocol in Ad hoc Network

Abstract: Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANET) are the network that lacks fixed infrastructure and random and quickly changing topology of the network necessitates the design of routing protocol that can withstand such dynamic environment. Various routing protocols have been proposed in the recent past focusing on different requirements. One of the proactive routing protocol known as Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) routing protocol in MANET works well by exchanging of messages for reconstruction of invalid route in MANET that has high mobile nodes. This paper reviews DSDV and its enhancements to suit various applications. Keywords—WSN, DSDV. I-DSDVV, DSR
