Comparative analysis of OLSR and Tora under IPv6 environment

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is an autonomous network that can be formed without any established infrastructure. It consists of mobile nodes equipped with a wireless interface that are free to move and establish communication on the fly. The mobile nodes act as hosts and routers, having routing capabilities for multi-hop paths connecting nodes which cannot directly communicate. Wireless Communication technology is exploring at very fast rate which lead to the increase in demand of infrastructure with such demand it is very difficult to have that much of fixed infrastructure. Routing is the prime concerns in Manet network as there are many dependency while choosing appropriate protocol for routing. OLSR and TORA are two most popular and hugely used protocols in Manet network. These two are different in their behavior as OLSR is a proactive protocol and TORA is a Reactive protocol. These two widely used protocols are compatable with new version of internet known as Ipv6. In our research we have done comparative analysis for these two protocols under Interenet Protocol version 6 so that the issues and analysis for both can be analyzed.
