Gayathri Janakiraman, T. Nirmal Raj, R. M. Suresh . AODV, DSDV, DSR Performance Analysis with TCP Reno, TCP New Reno, TCP Vegas on Mobile Ad-hoc Networks using NS2. International Journal of Computer Applications. 72, 19 ( June 2013), 1-7. DOI=10.5120/12647-9050
A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is considered an autonomous collection of wireless mobile nodes that are capable of communicating with each other without the use of a network infrastructure or any centralized Administration. MANETs have a wide range of applications from military to search and rescue operations during disaster. In the research work, Mobile Ad-hoc Network protocols like AODV, DSDV and DSR protocol performance analysis are investigated with TCP Reno, TCP new Reno and TCP Vegas using NS2. The Analysis of TCP variants is based on these performance metrics: Average End-to-End delay, Packet Delivery Fraction, Packet Loss, Routing Overhead and Convergence Time. These metrics will be calculated by varying the node coverage area. In additional to this metrics convergence time is also calculated. Convergence Time is defined as the time between Link Breakage and its Recovery. This analysis will be useful in determining the most suitable routing protocols and the TCP variants that can perform more efficiently and robustly in a Mobile Ad-hoc Network.
