Abstract

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) works without the help of any fixed infrastructure. As it has a dynamic topology thus, MANET can be created anywhere to use. MANET nodes are often mobile nodes, and they do not rely on any centralized infrastructure. Over the last few decades, many routing algorithms and routing protocols are designed to increase the efficiency and reliability of MANET; however, their productivity environment is always dependent. The most popular routing protocol introduced and used are DSR, AODV, and TORA. This Research evaluates the performance of these reactive routing protocols are DSR, AODV, and TORA. The performance parameters throughput, accumulated delay is also used despite the end-to-end delay, pause time, and routing. To implement a test-bed scenario, the most famous OPNET version 4.5 simulator is used. The concluded results show that AODV outperforms best in all the environments. The DSR takes 2nd position in performance, whereas TORA remained on the lower side as compared to the other two routing protocols. With the increase of network size and no mobile nodes, the end-to-end delay is more increased in TORA than in DSR. In terms of router discovery, the DSR protocols respond better than the other two protocols under discussion. The overall working of DSR was found good in changing environment.
