Several routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks have been proposed in the literature, each one based on a different strategic: proactive, reactive and hybrid. Some of these protocols have been studied and their performance is evaluated in detail. However a comparison between them is lacking to help determine an optimal strategy. This paper addresses this issue by comparing three protocols DSDV, AODV and CBRP from different MANET routing strategies. Performance is evaluated with respect to packets delivery ratio, end-to-end delay and normalized routing load for a given mobility mode, traffic load and network size by using Ns2 simulator.
