This report evaluates the performance of wireless networks, specifically focusing on the comparison of AODV and DSDV routing protocols. The study utilizes network simulation tools such as NAM and NetSim to simulate data packet transfer and energy consumption within a wireless sensor network. The simulation involved 20 nodes running for 300 seconds, with the behavior of each protocol analyzed at various time intervals (50, 150, and 250 seconds). The report examines the trace files to analyze data packet sending, receiving, dropping, and energy consumption patterns for each protocol. The DSDV protocol demonstrated uniformity in data transfer and higher energy consumption, while the AODV protocol showed faster data transfer within a short time, resulting in increased data packet drops. The conclusion highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each protocol, suggesting DSDV for uniform data connections and AODV for faster data transfer when energy is limited.
