Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network, MANET, is a network communication medium that is made up of mobile wireless nodes. It operates as an infrastructure-less network that doesn’t require an existing network infrastructure such as routers, switches, or mounted access points for network communication. In this paper, the performance of three MANET routing protocols, OLSR, DSDV, and AOMDV was analyzed using NS3 with varying numbers of nodes. Results were obtained based on the following metrics; Average Throughput, Average End-to-End Delay, and Average Energy Consumption. Overall, the OLSR protocol outperformed DSDV and AOMDV for the tested metrics at several nodes lesser than 40 nodes.
