There are many routing protocols in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, the popular ones being DSDV, AODV, PUMA and Babel. Although a lot of research work is done on individual protocols but not enough research is done on comparing these protocols under environment of NS-2. This is essential considering the fact that these protocols behave differently or perform differently in different environments. By analyzing how a protocol performs under a certain environment, the shortcomings of the protocol can be found out and more research could be done on removing those shortcomings. Further, this paper also helps in choosing a protocol best suited to particular conditions.In order to fulfill the objective a comparative analysis between these three protocols has to be carried out in the simulated environment created in the NS-2.34 simulator comprising of 25 mobile nodes based on the different parameters and examining their values based on the time scenarios. General Terms This paper exposes the simulation and performance analysis of AODV, BABEL and PUMA over the 25 mobile nodes using NS2.34 simulator.
