Analysis of DSR and AODV for Optimization

Mobile ad-hoc networks operate in the absence of fixed infrastructure. Ad-hoc means “for this” . These networks offer quick and easy network deployment in situations where it is not possible otherwise. Mobile ad-hoc network is an autonomous system and a router for all other nodes in the network. Wireless protocols are somewhat more challenging due to the nodes being mobile. In wireless protocol we have not only to set rules for a particular node but also for the interactive relation between the adjacent nodes. Our main concern is to only analyse those protocols which are providing good results nowdays. AODV and DSR are better in this category. In this paper we’ll show which protocol is the better of the two. The decision of the best protocol is based on some set of activities and the performances of the protocols in those activities. This analysis will then be used in the optimization of the protocol. Mobile networks are still facing the challenge of modernization, so modifying a protocol will really be a milestone, and analysis will be a nice approach towards that.
