Abstract: The Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes, and they communicate with one another without using any infrastructure support. The mobile nodes in MANET move arbitrarily and create a dynamic network topology. The routing protocols play a key role in communications that contain a set of rules for instructing the mobile nodes in the network. The performance evaluation in various simulation scenarios encounters many complexities due to the unpredictable and dynamic nature. For obtaining the accurate performance of protocols in simulation as equal to the realistic scenario, the comparative analysis significantly determines the robustness of the protocols under different scenarios. The proactive, reactive and hybrid protocols establish their routing behavior in a distinct manner based on their routing characteristics. This paper evaluates seven prominent routing protocols, and compare the several parameters in network scenarios using various kinds of application types such as CBR, FTP, audio, and video. These network scenarios create a considerable impact on the performance, and the performance of the protocols is not stable at all times. The simulation results reveals various performance issues and comparative analysis of proactive, reactive and hybrid routing protocols under different performance metrics. Thus, many significant factors are evaluated for clearly understanding the distinct characteristics of a routing protocol and estimating its relationship with others.
