Performance Analysis of Routing Protocols

Networking plays a prominent role in present day scenario because of its vast expansion of technology throughout the world. However the purpose of networking still remains the same i.e., sharing of information as fast as possible in terms of medium such as electrical cables, fiber optic cables and wireless radio networks. This paper deals regarding efficiency and compatibility of routing protocols based on QoS metrics in a wireless environment. A Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) environment is created in Network Simulator-2 software, where the nodes move at a particular speed selecting the shortest path to reach the destination from the source. Performance of the network in terms of quality of services metrics are analyzed for different topologies ranging from 10 to 30 nodes with routing protocol such as AODV, DSDV and AOMDV. Main aim of this paper is to choose a particular routing protocol for the topology considered under different scenarios without compromising on the QoS parameters. The graphical analysis is made in the paper based on the routing parameters such as network size, throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), End to End delay, and Jitter.
