Simulation Analysis of AODV Routing Protocol of MANET using OPNET
Sandeep Kaur, Nitin Bhatia, Namarta Kapoor · 2011
Mobile Ad hoc network is concept of communication that mobiles nodes want to communicate using dynamic topology. The important characteristics of having dynamic topology is node can change position quite frequently. Nodes can consist laptops and personal digital assistants and are often very limited in resources like CPU capacity, storage capacity, battery lifetime and bandwidth. The routing protocol should minimize the control traffic and calculate route only when they receive request. In this paper we present simulation analysis of the AODV Protocol consider two networks one having smaller nodes and other having larger nodes.
