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.
