ABSTRACT:With the significant increase in the demand of streaming videos over wireless networks leads to the huge challenge of providing high quality of services and standards to the users. So it is important to analyse the performance of streaming video transmission over mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we scrutinize and evaluate the four routing protocols to check the performance of network parameters over varying fragment sizes. The fragment size plays the critical role in the traffic management of the network. The work is carried out using NS-2 and the routing protocols used are (AODV, AODMV, DSDV and DSR) for the different QoS metrics (average end to end packet delay and packet loss rate). Investigation leads to the results which help in tuning the network parameters for enhanced performance.
