A survey on proactive routing protocols in MANETs
R. Shenbagapriya, N. Kumar · 2014
The paramount function of Mobile Ad Hoc networks is to determine the route between source nodes to destination, and forwards the traffic from source node to neighbor node to reach destination when the transmission range exceeds. The major issue in Mobile Ad-hoc networks (MANET) is maintaining the topological information in the network. A protocol called proactive routing protocol that maintains the topological information dynamically and efficiently. There are various proactive routing protocols are available in Mobile Ad-hoc networks with various parameters. Some of them are throughput, overhead, End-to-End Delay and Packet data delivery. In this paper we evaluate the performance of those parameters and analyse the best solution for routing the packets using mobile nodes efficiently.
