Impact of Packet Size and Number of Nodes on DSR and AODV Routing Protocols in MANET  
  Authors : Deepika; Pankaj Kumar Verma; Vijay Kumar

 

Ad hoc networks are characterized by multi-hop wireless connectivity, regularly changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing protocols. The wireless mobile nodes in Ad-hoc networks communicate with each other without any centralized control or established infrastructure. Since there are more chances of errors in the wireless links and due to mobility of nodes these links can go down frequently, therefore, routing in MANET is a significant task due to their highly dynamic nature. In recent years, several routing protocols have been proposed for mobile ad hoc networks and some wellknown among them are DSR (Dynamic Source Routing) and AODV (Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector). This paper presents, a comparison of the performance of these two ondemand routing protocols by presenting their functionality. Various scenarios have been generated to study the functionality of these two protocols using NS2.34 as network simulator.

Performance evaluation

The study has been carried out using the same scenario for both schemes to make it biasfree. Same metrics have been used and results are compared. It has been observed that AODV in the simulation experiment shows overall best performance. It has an improvement of DSR and DSDV and has advantages of both of them. Future work will concentrate on using more metrics and also using different networks for making the study more effective and conclusive. Efforts are on to study the network for more denser and sparse medium as well.
