Simualation development of AODV, DSR, and DSDV using NS2 / Faraj Abdulaziz

Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a challenging network in which communication between mobile node and Mobile Ad Hoc network (MANET) are connected dynamically and arbitrarily located in such a way that the interconnections between nodes are capable of changing on a continual basis like IETF scenario which is unpredictable and difficult to analyze the performance of its routing protocols and application. There are many network simulators that could be applied such as GlomoSim, NS-2, OPNET, QualNet, and NCTUns. In this study, the performance of routing protocols over MANET for AODV, DSDV, and DSR is presented by network simulator NS-allinone-2.31 which presented critical analysis for routing protocols AODV, DSDV, and DSR measured by PDF (Packet Delivery Fraction), PDR (Packet Delivery Ratio), Packet loss, End-to-End Delay, throughput. The result show that performance of routing protocols when mobile node seeped changes as well as when number of node start from 15 to 100 nodes during entire scenarios for node speeds from in a range of 10, 20,30,40,50 m/s . the best performance for AODV routing protocols over PDF, PDR, Packet loss, and Throughout were noted and the worst performance was DSDV routing protocols in these parameters but for end-to-end delay best performance was DSDV routing protocols as well as the wrest performance for AODV routing protocols.
