Analysis of Uni Path and Multi Path Routing Protocols in Mobile Adhoc Networks.

Abstract

A MANET is an interconnection of mobile devices by wireless links, which forms a dynamic topology. Routing protocols play a vital role in transmission of data across the network. The two major classifications of routing protocols are uni path and multi path. In this paper, we have evaluated the performance of a widely used on-demand uni path routing protocol called AODV and multi path routing protocol AOMDV and MDART . These protocol has been selected due to its edge over other protocols in various aspects, such as reducing delay, routing load etc. The evaluation of all the protocols is carried out in terms of different scenarios using NS2.
