Prashant Kumar Maurya, Gaurav Sharma, Vaishali Sahu, Rajeev Paulus . Performance Measurement and Analysis of AODV and DYMO Routing Protocols for MANET under Free Space and Two Ray Propagation Models. International Journal of Computer Applications. 65, 8 ( March 2013), 8-11. DOI=10.5120/10942-5893
MANET is a collection of dynamic mobile wireless nodes. These nodes are communicating with each other through wireless link. In MANET there is no need of pre-existing fixed network infrastructure. Since, in MANET the network topology changes dynamically due to the mobility of nodes thus, routing becomes a challenging issue. For optimizing the route between source and destination, a variety of routing protocols for varying network conditions have been analyzed and this is the active area of research for authors. IETF MANET Working Group have been standardized the most popular reactive routing protocol AODV and DYMO which are used in MANETs. In our paper, we present performance comparison results of two reactive routing protocols namely AODV and DYMO under Free Space and Two Ray propagation models by varying packet rate, using Discrete-event simulator QualNet version 5. 2. Simulations are run to analyze the different network parameters such as throughput, average end-to-end delay, average jitter, packet delivery ratio and total bytes received.
