A Simulation Based Performance Comparison of Routing Protocols (Reactive and Proactive) For Random Waypoint Mobility Model

Abstract

Mobile Ad hoc Network is collection wireless mobile nodes which dynamically form a temporary network] =without the use of existing network infrastructure centralized administration. Due to dynamic property of mobiles nodes in MANET, They require good routing protocols. This paper analyzes the effect of random based mobility models on the performance of Proactive Routing Protocol (DSDV-Destination Sequence Distance Vector) and Reactive Routing Protocol (AODV-on Demand Distance Vector Routing Protocol, and (OLSR-Optimized Link State Routing Protocol). Performance Analysis is done with respect to receive rate and packet received for varying node densities.
