Comparative Analysis of AODV and SSA Protocol Based on Routing Parameters

Abstract

In Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) packet transmission is very important. The performance of MANET is related to the efficiency of the routing protocols in adapting to frequently changing network topology and link status. An ad-hoc network is often described as a collection of mobile platforms or nodes where each node can move freely and arbitrarily without the benefit of any fixed infrastructure except for the nodes themselves. In this paper we provide comparison between two routing protocols AODV and SSA based on some of routing parameters like Average delay, throughput, packet drop and packet delivery ratio. .
