Performance Comparison of AODV, DSR and LAR1 in Mobile Ad-hoc Network based on Simulation Time

In the last couple of years, the use of wireless networks has become more and more popular. A MANET is a collection of self-organizing mobile nodes which is infrastructure less, autonomous, and standalone networks. Each node in a MANET is free to move independently in any direction and will therefore change its links to other devices frequently. Each must forward traffic unrelated to its own use and therefore be a router. Simulation result has been obtained by a performance comparison of three routing protocols i.e. Ad hoc Ondemand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Location Aided Routing (LAR1) against Simulation time. The Result is obtained using QualNet simulator version 6.1. Different protocols are evaluated based on measures such as Average End to End delay (s), Average Jitter(s), and Packet delivery ratio.
