Comparative Study on the Density and Velocity of AODV and DSDV Protocols Using OMNET++

Abstract

In the last few years there are a lot of spontaneous events and situation which happen without any planning, those situations need a flexible and temporary and high-performance ad-hoc network which need an improvement in routing protocols to handle multi-hop communications. The multi-hop communications are the most appropriate solution to avoid the limit of transmission range of mobile terminals. The choice of which routing protocol to use in this step is a big deal and may affect directly the efficacity of the network. So, in this work we will try to compare between the most popular Manet routing Protocols in the market which are AODV and DSDV. The comparison is done using Omnet++ simulator based on 3 metrics which are end to end delay, packets delivery ratio, and throughput and finally the results will be based on varying the number of nodes and pause time.
