Several studies have been done on the performance evaluation of routing protocols using different evaluation methods. Different methods and simulation environments give different results and consequently, there is need to broaden the spectrum to account for effects not taken into consideration in a particular environment. In this paper, the evaluation of the performance of AODV, OLSR and DSR ad hoc routing protocols in OPNET is done and the simulation of a Mobile ad hoc network with all nodes in the network receiving FTP and HTTP traffic from a common source is taken. In addition, the mobile nodes were randomly placed in the network to provide the possibility of multi hop routes from a node to the server. The performance of these routing protocols is evaluated with respect to throughput and end-to-end delay.
