Abstract
Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an organization of static and wireless mobile nodes having
no any central administration and fixed infrastructure. In MANET, each node can acts as routing
and hosting device. Performance comparison and analysis has been conducted by using four
different scenarios in NS2 (Network Simulator) for which two reactive (AODV, DSR) and two
proactive (OLSR, DSDV) ad hoc routing protocols have been selected by employing 802.11 Mac
layer. The main goal is to find out the better performing protocol by measuring three metrics
Packet Delivery Ratio, Throughput and Routing Overhead. As the results show that the
performance of reactive protocols is better than proactive protocols.
