Performance Evaluation of Multicast Routing Protocols in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Wireless Ad hoc networks are networks connecting mobile devices that are self-contained. It’s these networks simplicity and ease of implementation make them the best choice for frontline communications, incident management, and other related applications when dependable infrastructure is not easily accessible. The applicability of such networks has been challenging due to partial bandwidth, energy restrictions, and unexpected system topologies. Recent years have seen resurgence in this area’s research. Specifically in routing, security and multicast concerns. The paper focuses on multicast routing in peer-to-peer networks in this paper. In this work, the source packet dumping, a fresh multicast routing system has been presented. Based on restrictions on hop distance, the connectivity routes between providers and group members are established as a single hop/multihop. In order to ensure effective data dissemination, a probabilistic data forwarding mechanism has been suggested. The simulation results demonstrated the performance of suggested routing protocol comparison to factors that define an ad hoc network. It is evident from simulation results, that the suggested protocol delivers effective data distribution and is resistant to topology changes.
