A Comparative Exploration and Analysis of AODV, DSDV and DSR for MANET

Collection of mobile nodes forms Mobile Ad hoc network. It has the property to change according to changing topology due to the lack of centralized control. The nodes act as a sender and receiver both and communicate with each other through various protocols. Thus there is a need to analyse the pre-existing MANET protocols to find the best suited one for the application purpose. As in paper [1] we have also analyse and simulated the three protocols namely Ad hoc On-Demand distance vector (AODV), Dynamic source routing (DSR) and Destination sequenced distance vector routing (DSDV) on various parameters as specified and analysed in [1] and we have analysed and simulated the protocols on parameters such as energy, speed and pause time which were not defined in paper [1].
