A Comparison of Performance Metrics for Various Routing Protocols in MANET?

MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) is an independent set of mobile users that communicate through wireless connections. The network topology of MANET changes rapidly over time. Since the nodes are mobile therefore Packet delivery ratio, energy consumption, Delay is an important constraint of Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET). Routing for MANET is the keys where we can save some energy and decrease delays. This paper however presents a comparison of performance metrics for DSDV, AODV, ZRP routing protocol for MANET.
