Abstract
In this work the Performance Comparison of Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Routing Protocols and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was investigated in order to evaluate the performance of Routing Protocols (AODV, DSR and TORA) and TCP (Tahoe, Reno and New Reno). The Model that represented the hypothetical network was developed and simulated using OMNet++ 4.1. The three Routing protocols were tested upon each of the three variants of Transmission Control Protocol. End to end throughput was the performance parameter (metric) used for the evaluation of Routing protocols and TCP performance.
Highlights
Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a famous ad hoc network that can be utilized well for emergency situation and military applications
In this work the Performance Comparison of Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) Routing Protocols and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was investigated in order to evaluate the performance of Routing Protocols (AODV, DSR and Temporally Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA)) and TCP (Tahoe, Reno and New Reno)
The results showed that TORA_New Reno had highest throughput (360.6625 Kbps) and DSR_New Reno had lowest throughput (32.22977 Kbps)
Summary
Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a famous ad hoc network that can be utilized well for emergency situation and military applications. It is useful in disaster recovery situations and places with non-existing or damaged communication infrastructure where rapid deployment of a communication network is needed. A routing protocol shares this information first among immediate neighbours, and throughout the network. This way routers gain knowledge of the topology of the network. TCP provides reliable ordered delivery of a stream of bytes from a program on one computer to another program on another computer
