MANET- A practical approach

The primary objectives of MANET routing protocols is to maximize throughput, minimize packet loss and to minimize recovery time. Due to continuous node movement in Ad Hoc networks, radio links may get broken. This leads to increase in packet loss, reduction in throughput and degrade the efficiency of network. The Performance of five protocols AODV, DSR, GRP, OLSR and TORA is analyzed with various applications on the basis of Delay, Load and Throughput. We have evaluated the Performance of MANET with five Routing Protocols with FTP, Video and Voice traffic using OPNET simulator.
