QUALITY OF SERVICE IN DSDV AND AODV PROTOCOLS
Abstract
Abstract - Mobile Ad hoc Networks due to their characteristics put some extra requirements on the routing protocols such as, distributed control management, on demand operation, energy efficient approach and limited packet size. With the development of real-time applications, incorporating Quality of Service (QoS) into the network architecture becomes essential.In this paper, we analyze and compare DSDV (proactive or Table Driven) and AODV (reactive or On Demand) routing protocols for MANETs using Network Simulator NS2. Performance evaluation of AODV and DSDV is evaluated based on three parameters of quality of service (QoS), throughput, packet loss ratio and delay. Our simulations show that AODV outperforms DSDV in terms of throughput and packet loss ratio.
