Analyzing Mobile Ad-Hoc Routing Protocols DSDV and AODV

A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of nodes that is connected through a wireless medium forming rapidly changing topologies. Wireless mobile ad-hoc networks are characterized as networks without any physical connections. The widely accepted existing routing protocols designed to accommodate the need of such self-organized networks do not address possible threats aiming at the disruption of the protocol itself. In these networks there is no fixed topology due to the mobility of nodes, interference, mulit-path propagation and path loss. Hence a dynamic routing protocol is needed for these networks to function properly. Many Routing protocols have been developed for accomplishing this task.
