Quality of service in dsdv and aodv protocols

Abstract EN

Mobile Ad hoc Networks due to their characteristics put some extra requirements on the routing protocols such as, distributed control management, on demand operation, energy efficient approach and limited packet size.

With the development o f real-time applications, incorporating Quality o f Service (QoS) into the network architecture becomes essential.In this paper, we analyze and compare DSDV (proactive or Table Driven) and AODV (reactive or On Demand) routing protocols for MANETs using Network Simulator NS2.

Performance evaluation o f AODV and DSDV is evaluated based on three parameters o f quality o f service (QoS), throughput, packet loss ratio and delay.

Our simulations show that AODV outperforms DSDV in terms o f throughput and packet loss ratio.
