Performance Comparison of DSR OLSR and TORA Routing Protocols

Abstract A MANET is a mobile ad-hoc network which consists of mobile nodes communicating with each other. Among various routing protocols used in networking performance comparison of DSR OLSR and TORA is done. Various performance parameters measured are Throughput End to End Delay and Packet Delivery Fraction for CBR traffic over UDP connection. The mobility models used are Random Waypoint RW and Reference Point Group Mobility RPGM. During the research it was found that the Reactive protocol DSR gives better performance than the Proactive protocol OLSR and Hybrid protocol TORA. NS-2.35 simulator is used to analyze the result.
