Ad hoc networks are temporary networks with a dynamic topology which doesn't have any established infrastructure or centralized administration. These networks need efficient routing protocols in terms of Quality of Services (QoS) metrics. In this paper we present performance comparisons of the DSDV, AODV, DSR and TORA routing protocols with respect to weighted path optimality, average end-to-end delay, load balancing capability, and average jitter. In comparison to previous works, we use a wide range of different movement and communication scenarios which are characterized by the pause time, mobility, and the number of nodes to cover many issues and finding benefits and drawback of these protocols in different situations especially in extreme emergency cases as described in the EU-FP7 PEACE project.
