Abstract

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that
dynamically establishes the network in the absence of fixed infrastructure. One of the distinctive
features of MANET is each node must be able to act as a router to find out the optimal path to
forward a packet. As nodes may be mobile, entering and leaving the network, the topology of the
network will change continuously. In this paper we compare AODV and AOMDV routing
protocols for MANETs. The AODV is a unipath routing protocol and AOMDV is a multipath
version of AODV. The key concept in AOMDV is computing multiple loop-free paths per route
discovery. With multiple redundant paths available, the protocol switches routes to a different
path when an earlier path fails. Thus a new route discovery is avoided.
