PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF TRUST BASED STABLE DISTANCE VECTOR ROUTING PROTOCOL IN MANET

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a short - term network molded by a number of mobile nodes without a centralized administration or wired infrastructure. The dynamic nature of these Ad hoc networks makes support of QoS ( Quality of Service) a challenging and difficult task where nodes may leave and join the network or move around anytime. In this paper, we present a stable election protocol trust On - Demand Distance Vector (SEOTDV) for manipulating performance of path optimality,(packet fraction ratio) PFR , delay, average jitter of Packet transfer node. In mobile ad hoc networks, the movement of the network nodes may quickly change the topology resulting in the increase of the overhead message in topology maintenance and changing of the cluster head node. Protocols try to keep the number of nodes in a cluster around a pre - defined threshold to facilitate the optimal operation of the medium access control protocol.
