Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) represent a group of multi-hop remote nodes that connect with each other without central control or recognized organization. The topology-changeable of these networks demands a new set of the strategy network routing protocols to be performing to supply efficient end-to-end communication. There are numerous of MANETs routing protocols offering different levels of performance metrics at various scenarios. In this paper, we compare three routing protocols in MANETs “Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing (DSDV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Multi-Path Dynamic Addressing Routing (MDART)” to determine the perfect conditional protocol. This paper has been simulated and analysis of these routing protocols by network simulator version 2.35 and show how several of parameters that effect on the performance of network subsequently effected on packets transmitted led to lost packets between a source node and destination. The performance study of several performance metrics such as a Packet loss ratio, Avg Routing Overhead, Packet Delivery Ratio, Avg E2E Delay presents a DSR routing protocol gives better performance in some scenarios than DSDV and MDART.
