UDP OVER VARIOUS ROUTING PROTOCOLS FOR MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS (Pages : 27 - 31)

A dynamic routing protocol is needed for one node to exchange data with another to cope with the dynamic nature of mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper we have investigated the performance of UDP as a transport protocol over various routing protocols in ad hoc networks. For this investigation we have chosen three routing schemes, DSDV, DSR and AODV in different network scenarios where nodes are mobile with various speeds. Results are produced by evaluating throughput and end to end packet delay over the UDP connection through simulation experiments by considering node mobility and network density. Our results suggest that the performance of UDP is highly affected by the table-driven and demand-driven natures of routing protocols. Moreover, the number of nodes in the network has an impact on the operations of routing protocols as well as on UDP performance.Download
