Abstract
This paper attempts to analyze the performance of wired (RIP, OSPF and EIGRP) and wireless (AODV, DSR, OLSR) protocols to experience better performance in network services such as FTP and Video Conferencing and use them for open source model architecture which could be used to auto assist the vehicle to its destination. The performance of these routing protocols is evaluated with respect to network delay, throughput and CPU utilization, FTP download and uploads response time, packet end to end delay and a detailed simulation study is performed on the network with different routing protocols. Here in wired protocols, a comparison is done with weighted-faired queuing (WFQ) technique on different scenarios taking into consideration the users, services, and locations of the hosts and results shows that EIGRP is the best one in the network in all the parameters i.e. Delay, Throughput and CPU utilization, Video Conferencing service and after that OSPF will be the best choice. In wireless protocols, we simulate a Mobile ad hoc network with all nodes in the network receiving FTP and Video traffic from a common source (wireless LAN server). In addition, the mobile nodes were randomly placed in the network to provide the possibility of multihop routes from a node to the server. From this study, result shows that for delay either AODV or OLSR will be the best choice but if we consider delay with throughput then AODV will be the best choice compare to OLSR and DSR and if we consider CPU utilization along with delay and throughput, Video conferencing service then also AODV is the best in network but for FTP, DSR and OLSR will be the best choice.
