Aodv for NS-2. A mobile ad-hoc network (manet) is a kind of wireless ad-hoc network, and is a self-configuring
network of mobile routers connected wirelessly. manet may operate in a standalone fashion, or may
be connected to the larger Internet. Many routing protocols have been developed for manets over
the past few years. This project evaluated three specific manet routing protocols which are Ad-hoc
On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Dynamic manet Ondemand
routing protocol (DYMO) to better understand the major characteristics of these routing
protocols. Different performance aspects were investigated in this project including packet delivery
ratio, routing overhead, throughput and average end-to-end delay.
In the next generation of wireless communication systems, there will be a need for the rapid
deployment of independent mobile users. Significant examples include establishing survivable, efficient,
dynamic communication for emergency operations, disaster relief efforts, and military networks. Such
network scenarios cannot rely on centralized and organized connectivity, and can be conceived as
applications of mobile ad hoc networks. A manet is an autonomous collection of mobile users that
communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained wireless links. Since the nodes are mobile, the
network topology may change rapidly and unpredictably over time. The network is decentralized, where
all network activity including discovering the

Throughout the course of my work in multihop mobile ad hoc networks (manet)
over the last several years, I reached the conclusion that mobility models and perfor-
mance metrics need to be treated in detail in designing these networks that are the
ultimatefrontierinwirelesscommunications. Awidevarietyofmobilitymodelscan
be used by mobile nodes.
A mobile ad-hoc network (manet) is formed by multiple moving nodes
equipped with wireless transceivers. The mobile nodes communicate with
each other through multi-hop wireless links, where every node can transmit
and receive information. Mobile ad-hoc networks have become increasingly
important in areas where deployment of communications infrastructure is
difficult.
