As Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are attracting attention for their potential use in several fields such as collaborative computing and multimedia communications, there is an increasing need to minimize the overhead introduced by routing protocols in the network. In this paper, we analyze the performance of a MANET by simulations, in terms of RREQ, RREP and RERR, considering Random Waypoint Mobility (RWM) model. We consider the cases when all nodes are moving and source and destination nodes are static. We evaluate the performance by measuring the throughput and AODV control packets.
