On Demand Multicasting Routing Protocol compared with AODV and FSR in Mobile Ad hoc Network

Mobile ad hoc network is a collection of wireless nodes that dynamically organize themselves to form a network without the need for any fixed infrastructure or centralized administration. The network topology dynamically changes frequently in an unpredictable manner since nodes are free to move. Support for multicasting is essential in such environment as it is considered to be an efficient way to deliver information from source nodes to many client nodes. On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol is a protocol for routing multicast and unicast traffic throughout adhoc wireless mesh networks. ODMRP creates routes on demand so they suffer from a route acquisition delay,although it helps reduce network traffic in general. In future this results will be compared with AODV and FSR protocol and ODMRP performs better as compared with AODV and FSR protocol.
