Rajan Bansal, Himani Goyal, Parminder Singh . Analytical Study the Performance Evaluation of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks using AODV Protocol. International Journal of Computer Applications. 14, 4 ( January 2011), 34-37. DOI=10.5120/1829-2442
The mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been communicating over wireless mesh channels and support multihop networks. Every node in the MANET is free to move independently in any of direction. MANET is a kind of wireless mesh networks which operates in Link Layer (LL) of Ad hoc networks. The current network scenarios consist of combined wired and wireless links which demands for investigating the performance in such mesh scenarios. This Paper investigates the performance evaluation of MANET over 802.11 wireless networks. MANET also uses TCP/IP structure to provide communication between different moving nodes. The impact of mobility or ad hoc routing protocols and different versions of TCP behave differently in this mobile environment and result obtained thereof has been presented in the form of important TCP metric. This paper further investigates the packet sequence traces in the wireless networks. We also use AODV routing protocols, perform best and less overhead in large networks. The different tools have been used to show the important TCP metrics such as Gnuplot, Perl and Python scripts.
