@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/6729, title = {Performance Comparison of Single and Multi-Path Routing Protocol in MANET with Selfish Behaviors}, author = {Abdur Rashid Sangi and Jianwei Liu and Zhiping Liu}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Mobile Ad Hoc network is an infrastructure less network which operates with the coordination of each node. Each node believes to help another node, by forwarding its data to/from another node. Unlike a wired network, nodes in an ad hoc network are resource (i.e. battery, bandwidth computational capability and so on) constrained. Such dependability of one node to another and limited resources of nodes can result in non cooperation by any node to accumulate its resources. Such non cooperation is known as selfish behavior. This paper discusses the performance analysis of very well known MANET single-path (i.e. AODV) and multi-path (i.e. AOMDV) routing protocol, in the presence of selfish behaviors. Along with existing selfish behaviors, a new variation is also studied. Extensive simulations were carried out using ns-2 and the study concluded that the multi-path protocol (i.e. AOMDV) with link disjoint configuration outperforms the other two configurations.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {5}, year = {2010}, pages = {761 - 765}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/6729}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/41}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 41, 2010}, }
