Abstract: A Mobile Ad hoc network (MANET) is built from a collection of nodes which has the capability to communicate with each other without any infrastructure support. In such a infrastructure less network the mobile nodes are connected wirelessly without any centralized administrator. The routing protocol used for the wired network is not suitable for MANET due its unique characteristics like Dynamic topology, high mobility, Self-Organizing, Self-Healing, Network Scalability, frequent link failure and Multi-hop Communication. This paper presents an architecture for MANET and considers Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) from reactive routing group for studying the performance of the proposed architecture. This protocol was simulated using NS-2 package and was analyzed in terms of packet delivery ratio, delay dropped packets and throughput by varying the maximum number of connections for different pause times
