Evaluation of MANET Routing Protocols using OMNeT++

Chand Jain, Jaswinder Singh

Abstract: The work presented here is a summary of the results obtained when routing protocols viz. AODV, DSR, DYMO were simulated using virtual hosts on a discrete-event simulator: OMNeT++ v4.4.1. The three protocols run on a simulation setup of 50 nodes. We describe and compare the three routing protocols on available parameters like throughput, SNIR, radio state and more. We conclude by stating the DYMO emerges as the better protocol of the three examined here.
