Abstract
Mobile ad hoc networks are gaining high importance in present days due to many civilian applications apart from regular military applications. Networks usually are designed using fixed infrastructure. Wherever fixed networks are not feasible, ad hoc network serve the purpose. Routing plays an important role in packet transmission, Multicast routing protocols designed for data transfer should consider both bandwidth and energy of the node. Many Ant colony Optimization (ACO) based routing approaches are proposed by researchers. In this paper three popular ACO based routing protocols ANTCHAIN, ANTALG and EMRP-AIPUR are compared using NS2 simulator. The results obtained show that EMRP-AIPUR shows better performance when compared to the other two protocols
