Performance evaluation of AODV, DSR AND OLSR routing protocols in web application traffics / Ahmad Sabri Sardi @ Mohd Yusop

As MANET are becoming an increasingly emerging technology taking a centre stage in exciting research areas which has concerned many research attentions in communication systems. A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less network consisting of self-configuring mobile nodes connected by wireless links. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are a part of the fourth generation networks vision. They are new wireless networks having transient mobile nodes with no need for a pre-installed infrastructure. They are of utmost interest for the future networks owing to their flexibility, effortlessness of deployment and related low cost. Simulation results are provided for web application traffic scenarios for cases where wireless networks in infrastructure mode are employed, however the possibilities of using ad-hoc networks and performance evaluation of web application traffic scenarios with ad hoc networks are not considered. This paper presents an evaluation of the performances for wireless ad-hoc networks routing protocols employed in typical web application traffic environment by using the OPNET modeler. Numerical simulation results, discussions and comparisons are provided. A wireless network in infrastructure mode as well as Ad-hoc networks such as MANETs is the great platform to optimize infrastructure in typical web application traffic classroom network. The performance issues are considered together with scalability concern.
