Comparative Analysis of Multipath Routing Algorithms for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks

A MANET is an interconnection of mobile devices by wireless links, which forms a dynamic topology. Routing protocols play a vital role in transmission of data across the network. Multipath routing allows the establishment of multiple paths between a pair of source and destination node in mobile ad hoc network. It is typically proposed in order to increase the reliability of data transmission or to provide load balancing and has received more and more attentions. In this paper we have compared & evaluated the performance of three multipath algorithms namely AOMDV, MSR and MDART on different parameters such as throughput and delay.
