AbstractDemand on the rapid deployment, dynamic reconfiguration and infrastructure-less characters for the applications like disaster relief efforts, emergency operations and military environment, MANETs routing protocols have been developed very much in recent years. In our research, we study the performance of two MANETs protocols, Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV), under various network parameters. We evaluate the performance of these protocols by using the simulation metrics of packet delivery fraction and end-to-end delay based on the different traffic sources. In order to adjust the routing protocols in real applications, Cygwin and Network Simulator (ns-2) tools are used for the performance analysis of MANETs protocols. According to the simulation results, we found that Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing which based on the On-Demand routing algorithm has better performance than Destination Sequence Distance Vector Routing (One of the Table-driven Routing Protocols). In the table-driven routing protocols, the routing information is constantly propagated and maintained. This feature causes large signaling traffic and power consumption. On the contrary, on-demand algorithm is applied only when the source requires a route to the destination. It creates no extra traffic for the communication along the existing links. But the protocol requires more time to establish. Thus, according to the performance of protocols from our simulation results, each protocol has explicit advantages and disadvantages for the particular application.
