Analysis Of AODV And DSDV Routing Protocols In Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks: A Review Paper

Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes that is connected through a wireless medium forming rapidly changing topologies. Mantes are infrastructure less and can be set up anytime, anywhere. We have conducted survey of protocol properties of various MANET routing algorithms and analyzed them. The routing algorithms considered are classified into three categories proactive (table driven) , reactive (on demand) and Hybrid protocol. Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) and Destination sequence Vector (DSDV) have been proposed to solve the multi hop routing problem in Ad-hoc networks. The comparison among three routing protocols are based on the various protocol property parameters such as Routing overhead, packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, path optimality, and throughput are some metrics commonly used in the comparisons.
