Table 1 MANET routing approaches and its features
Routing protocol | Properties/features |
|---|---|
RRP | It functions “on-demand” as a result of its features. The route is still usable up to the point where the destination node can be accessed (e.g., AODV and DSR) |
AODV | Sent data from the source to the destination via MANET’s reactive routing mechanism and a route is simply built and maintained. RREQ, RREP, and RERR packets are the types of messages used by this routing system |
PARP | Retains track of each conceivable route at every node in a network by trading periodical updates |
DSDV | Proactive in nature. DSDV stores the terminus ID, next hop or node, distance, and classification number |
HRP | Reactive and proactive routing protocol that combines all of the finest features of reactive and proactive protocols (e.g., TORA and ZRP) |
ZRP | Hybrid routing protocol combining reactive and proactive protocols. It employs two kinds of methods for transferring and receiving data: the interzone routing protocol and the zone routing protocol |
OSLR | It uses MPRs to send packets to a one-hop neighbor in order to reduce traffic control overhead. For bigger, denser networks, it is a better protocol |
TORA | Based on the link reversal algorithm family. It is a distributed routing algorithm that can provide numerous routes deprived of loops to any terminus in the network on demand |
