Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) have potential for becoming one of the most widely deployed wireless networks due to the wide spread use of wireless hand-held devices in both personal and professional lives. These networks have various application areas covering from a conference hall to a calamitous area. However, due to mobile nature of the nodes that results in timely varying network topologies, routing the data packets in these networks is a challenging task. In spite of the difficulties, a wide set of unicast routing protocols for MANETs is available in the literature. In this paper, four basic unicast routing protocols such as DSDV, OLSR, DSR, and AODV have been opted because of their popularity. The performance of the chosen routing protocols is evaluated in terms of network performance measuring metrics such as packet delivery ratio, average end-to-end delay, average jitter, throughput, and normalized routing load. Essentially, the routing protocol’s suitability to mobile ad-hoc environments is analyzed for diverse node mobilities under different CBR traffic loads.
