Abstract
Routing is a critical issue in MANET andtherefore, this is the focus of this paper, along with theperformance analysis of its routing protocols. In this paper theperformance of four MANET routing protocols (AODV, DSR,OLSR and GRP) are compared. To evaluate and validate theperformance of these protocols, a feasibility study in the form ofsimulations were carried out. In these experiments, the fourprotocols were tested under different scenarios andcircumstances using a simulation tool called OPNET. Theperformance of these routing protocols is analyzed based on twoperformance metrics: delay and through put. The simulationresults have shown that on average, under heavy FTP trafficcondition, the OLSR protocol outperforms the other threeprotocols with respect to the mentioned metrics under twoscenarios (20 and 80 mobile nodes) that have been created inOPNET.
