Performance Study of AODV, GRP and OSPFv3 MANET Routing Protocols Using OPNET Modeler

A Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes, that forms on the fly temporary wireless multi-hop network in self-organizing way, without relying any established infrastructure. In MANET, pair nodes exchange messages either over direct link, or sequence links including one more intermediate nodes. For this purpose, an efficient routing protocol required. This paper introduced performance study three MANET protocols (AODV, GRP and OSPFv3). was newer studies because communication played important role today’s application field ad becomes very popular for researchers last years. done using OPNET Modeler v14.5 comparison between terms throughput, traffic received, sent, load delay with increased number from 10, 25 50 The results showed AODV (reactive protocol) better had smaller throughput than proactive protocols) OSPFv3 (proactive protocols).
