PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ROUTING PROTOCOLS IN MOBILE AD - HOC NETWORK

A Network which is form spontaneously by the collection of wireless nodes without any centralized administration or already existing network infrastructure called Mobile Ad - hoc Network (MANET). Performance evaluation of different Ad - Hoc networks routing protocols viz. DSDV, AODV & DSR on the basis of four parameter such as Packet delivery ratio, throughput, packet drop and routing overhead is m ain objective of this paper. NS - 2, which is a discrete event simulation tool, is used in which The Tool Command Language (TCL) is used for simulation of varying parameter for routing algorithm. Importance of selection criteria of routing protocols in dynam ic environment is illustrated in the result of this work.
