| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this paper is to comparison between five routing protocols, which have central role in any Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) as Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Load-Balance Ad hoc Routing (LBAR), Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR), and Load Balancing Routing Mechanism (LBRM) protocols. That may generally be categorized as Table-Driven and On-Demand routing, and decide what are the best operational conditions, for each protocol and explain how the pause time and number of nodes affect their based Load-Balance. Also, performance is measured based on the metrics Average End-to-End delay, Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF) ratio, and Normalized Routing Load (NRL). To implement this comparison between these routing protocols we used simulation to evaluate performance of this comparison. The simulation is performed under Network Simulator 2 (NS-2) to provide on the results agree with awaited search results based on Load-Balancing. | ||
