The Efficient routing protocols can provide significant benefits to mobile ad hoc networks, in terms of both performance and reliability. Many routing protocols for such networks have been proposed so far. Amongst the most popular ones are Ad hoc Ondemand Distance Vector (AODV), Destination-Sequenced Distance-Vector Routing protocol (DSDV), Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (DSR), and Optimum Lin...

The definitions of IGMPv3 and MLDv2 require new behavior within the multicast routing protocols. The additional source information contained in IGMPv3 and MLDv2 messages necessitates multicast routing protocols to manage and utilize the information. This document will describe how multicast routing protocols will interact with these source-filtering group management protocols.

Mobile Ad hoc networks are wireless network that use multi-hop routing instead of static networks infrastructure to provide network connectivity. The network topology in MANETs usually changes with time. Therefore, these are new changes for routing protocol in MANETs since traditional routing protocols may not be suitable for MANETs. In mobile Ad-hoc network, the reactive and proactive routing ...

A Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a type of wireless ad hoc network that facilitates ubiquitous connectivity between vehicles in the absence of fixed infrastructure. Multi-hop routing and beaconing approaches are two important research challenges in high mobility vehicular networks. Routing protocols are divided into two categories of topology-based and position-based routing protocols. In ...

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are very considered attractive for many applications. Routing protocol is considered as the most important element of MANET. However, media streaming over MANET is a quite demanding task. In this paper the performances of MANET routing protocols have been investigated for video applications. Some popular routing protocols namely Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad h...

A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a mobile, wireless network, that does not need preexisting infrastructure. The routing infrastructure needs to be established in a distributed, self-organized way. Many routing protocols for MANETs have been proposed, and also some evaluating work has been done. The number of the proposed routing protocols and evaluations makes it difficult to keep track of th...

In recent years, researchers are paying much attention in the vicinity for developing routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). The effectiveness of the MANET routing protocol depends on the security, quality of service and power consumption of the route selected for the communication between mobile nodes. In the literature, several protocols exist for MANETs routing are discussed. T...

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less and decentralized network which need a robust dynamic routing protocol. Many routing protocols for such networks have been proposed so far to find optimized routes from source to the destination and prominent among them are Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV), and Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSD...

A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a temporary network without the use of any existing network infrastructure. A number of routing protocols like Destination Sequenced Distance Vector Routing (DSDV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) have been implemented. This paper presents the comparative perform...
