AN EXTENSIVE COMPARATIVE REVIEW OF MANET ROUTING PROTOCOLS (AODV, DSR, DSDV) BY USING NS-2

Abstract

MANET is made up of several mobile wireless nodes that communicate with one another without the need for centralized management. A mobile area network, or MANET, is a self-configuring, self-organizing network without any infrastructure in which mobile nodes roam around freely. As a router, the mobile nodes are able to receive and forward packets. A reliable MANET is made possible by an effective routing protocol, which is a crucial issue. Numerous routing protocols have been examined over the nearly past ten years, and numerous researchers have compared their performances.. The majority of earlier studies on MANET Performance differences were examined using parameters such as throughput, delay, maximum packets in queue, delivery ratio, and packet loss of various routing protocols. Nodes' mobility was also varied independently, as was the number of nodes connecting at a given time. The NS-2 network simulator, which is used to run ad hoc simulations, will be used to conduct these simulations.
