Simulation and Analysis of AODV and DSDV Protocols in MANETs

Abstract

Wireless MANETs are categorized as networks without any direct connections. In these networks there is no fixed topology due to the movability of nodes, intrusion, and path loss. In this thesis, attempt has been done to analyse behaviour of proactive routing (DSDV), reactive routing (AODV), by simulating on simulators which allow users to generate real world mobility model. For this purpose, simulation tool such as NS-2 has been used. In this thesis performance of DSDV, AODV has been analyzed and evaluated under different node densities and connections. Three different sets of node density would be used to compare the performance of the said protocols. Simulation results in the form of graphs are then compared under various parameters like normalized routing protocol, average throughput, average end to end delay and PDF.
