Manoj Kumar Singh, Sujata Negi Thakur . Comparison of DSDV, DSR and ZRP Routing Protocols in Manets. International Journal of Computer Applications. 108, 13 ( December 2014), 10-12. DOI=10.5120/18970-9548
A mobile adhoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a network topology without the use of existing network infrastructure or centralised administration. Routing is a significant issue and challenge in MANET. Routing is a task of directing data packets from a source node to a destination node. Many routing protocols has been proposed like DSDV, OLSR, AODV, DSR, ZRP, and TORA so far to improve the routing performance and reliability in MANET. This paper presents a comparative performance analysis of Proactive, Reactive, and Hybrid protocol based on performance metrics like Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF), average end-to-end delay, normalised routing load and throughput by varying network size.
