An Investigational Analysis of DSDV, AODV and DSR Routing Protocols in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

A Mobile ad hoc network is a gathering of various data transmission node. The nodes in the MANET are movable. Due to this quality of Mobile ad hoc network, the topology is highly dynamic. There is no fixed infrastructure in this type of network. Any node that wants to transmit the data from origin node to sink node in the network, the data has to promote from one node to another node to reach the destination node. In this paper we have done a comparative investigation of three routing protocols in MANET by varying the pause time. The simulations have been made by considering the three parameters throughput, packet delivery ratio and end to end delay. The simulator used for making the comparative analysis NS-2.33. The results show that the DSR protocol outperforms the other two protocols AODV and DSDV in Throughput and packet delivery ratio and DSDV outperform the AODV and DSR in end to end delay.
