This report evaluates the performance of wireless networks, focusing on the comparison of DSDV and AODV routing protocols. The study utilizes network simulation tools, including NAM, to analyze the behavior of 20 nodes over a 300-second period. The report details the network design process and the simulation setup, highlighting the use of energy models and trace file analysis. The simulations demonstrate the data packet transfer, energy consumption patterns, and node movement across different time intervals (50, 150, and 250 seconds). The analysis reveals that DSDV provides faster data transfer and has a higher energy consumption compared to AODV, while AODV is a better choice regarding the fast trade of data with limited energy at each node. Furthermore, the report examines the impact of packet dropping and node collisions on network performance, ultimately concluding that DSDV routing protocol is more effective for achieving correct and reliable results than AODV. The report includes simulation snapshots and trace file data to support its findings, providing a comprehensive overview of the performance characteristics of both protocols. The report also includes the TCL file used for the simulation.
