PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT APPROACHS FOR CONNECTIVITY OF AODV AND WIRED NETWORKS

Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network is infrastructure less, self configurable, multi hop packet switched network. In ad hoc network, node movements results in dynamic topology and frequent link failures. Various routing protocols like AODV, DSR, OLSR and ZRP have been developed for routing in mobile ad-hoc networks. These have been classified into proactive (table driven), reactive (on demand) routing protocols. Studies shows that on demand routing protocols perform better compared to table driven protocols. Ad-hoc On Demand Routing (AODV) is a popular on demand routing protocol. Since there is interest in communication not only among the mobile nodes but also between the mobile nodes and devices in the wired networks (e.g. Host nodes, resources, internet). In the AODV protocol the mobile nodes maintains the path to the other mobile nodes with whom they want to communicate. When ever there are any link breakages or link failure, mobile nodes update the information and next time they will not use...
