Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) are developed to provide protocol functionally suitable for wireless routing applications within both fixed and mobile network. Source-initiated on-demand driven routing protocols are one type of protocols used in MANET and they detect and respond to changes in the network topology by gathering information to use in route construction and mobility management. Fixed wireless networks are currently gaining popularity and in this paper DSR and TORA will be employed and tested in such networks. This paper will discuss the performance of DSR and TORA routing protocols using the OPNET simulator. The performance is analyzed with respect to throughput, end-to-end delay and overhead by varying network size in both fixed and mobile network settings.
