Abstract—In this paper, we analyzed DSR, AODV, and DSDV routing protocols in wireless ad-hoc networks. For comparison purposes, we have taken average throughput, normalized routing load, and End to End (E2E) delay as matrices. We assumed here that node mobility is very low in the network. In respect of simulation time, we have analyzed performance of proactive (DSDV) as well as reactive (DSR, AODV) routing protocols. Varying the simulation times, we analyzed for three protocols. Network-Simulator (NS)-2 is used as a simulation tool.
