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...

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless network that can be formed without the need for any pre-existing infrastructure in which each node can act as a router. One of the main challenges of MANET is the design of robust routing algorithms that adapt to the frequent and randomly changing network topology. A variety of routing protocols have been proposed and several of them have be...

Current research on routing protocols for Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) has converged to several dominating routing protocols, including Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR), Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR). At the same time, classic routing protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) are improved for...

One of the main challenges of MANET is the design of robust routing algorithms that adapt to the frequent and randomly changing network topology. A variety of routing protocols have been proposed and several have been extensively simulated. In this paper, we compare and evaluate the performance of two types of On demand routing protocolsAd-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol, ...

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...

Implementation of compound routing metrics within Quagga for distance vector algorithms is presented in this paper. Quagga’s RIP process has been extended to compute routing metric values composed of weighed environmental measures. Quagga has also been extended with additional processes to perform appropriate measurements contributing to the computation of the compound metric. An example is pre...
