Choosing a routing protocol is an essential part in the success of the communication in mobile Ad-Hoc networks (MANET), since their topology is constantly changing. In many MANET applications (such as rescue tasks applications) it is necessary to assure reliable communication among network nodes. In this paper is showed a performance evaluation of two reactive routing protocols in order to know which is the most appropriate one for rescue tasks operations. Two protocols are evaluated: AODV (Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector) and DYMO (Dynamic MANET On-demand routing protocol). Various mobility conditions in the environment are presented as well as the respective behavior of the protocols under these variations. The results of this work are organized in metrics which enabled the conclusions about the protocols performance.
