| Summary: | Along with the rapid development of information and communication
technology, there is need for network that can connect people without depending
on fixed infrastructure. This type of network is called mobile ad hoc network
(MANET). Dynamic topology that characterizes this network leads to different
routing process compared to wired-network with fixed topology. The two main
classes of routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are proactive
and reactive (or ondemand). Reactive routing protocols consume less bandwidth
compared to proactive routing protocols because they establish the route on
demand.
This thesis presents the simulation results and performance analysis of
reactive routing protocol Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad-Hoc Ondemand
distance Vector Routing (AODV). The analysis is based on packet
delivery ratio, routing overhead, average delay, and average throughput by
varying the number of nodes and speed of nodes. The simulation is performed
using NS-2 network simulator.
The results show that AODV outperforms DSR in more stress situations,
however DSR outperforms AODV in less stressful situations (smaller number of
nodes and lower speed of nodes). DSR produces higher delay in all scenarios,
therefore this protocol not recommended for MANET with the need for low delay
