Abstract

This research paper compares the performance of MANET routing protocol such as Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Destination Sequence Routing (DSR) protocol at different Node mobility and node density under different Traffic loads. The experimental data that i got are different from the original data because of several factors like random seed value, number of packets to be sent, packet size, start and end time during simulation and interdeparture time of the Constant Bit Rate generator etc. AODV produced control packets with more than 34 times and DSR more than 4 times when the traffic load was increased. However, DSR is less vulnerable to node mobility and node density in terms routing overhead and is also best suited for scalability compared to AODV.
