This paper evaluates the video transmission performance of three well-known ad-hoc routing protocols. Due to high mobility and rapid movement characteristics, video transmission over ad-hoc networks is becoming more difficult than simple data transmission. Consequently, finding an efficient way for multimedia communication is becoming an important issue nowadays. We make a complete comparison between the two prominent on-demand reactive routing protocols, DSR and AODV, and the proactive DSDV routing protocol. Our improved simulation tool-set is used with NS-2 and myEvalvid-NT in this simulation, and we adopted the PSNR performance evaluation metric. Results indicate that DSDV is much worse than the other protocols for video transmission, and AODV is the best routing protocol in our simulation.
