Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is an autonomous, dynamic changed topology, self-healing and self configurable network of mobile nodes with wireless links providing connections among them. According to this network structure has many challenges in the routing for sending and receiving the information from one node to another node. At that time mobile nodes consuming some large amount of energies owing to the control packet overhead, delay, delivery ratio and packet drop. In this paper based on protocol comparison by packet drop, delay, control overhead and energy consumption in both static and dynamic. The DSDV, AODV, DSR and EDSR protocol’s comparison done using NS-2 simulation. Simulation results shows that EDSR protocol makes an improvement in control packet overhead, delivery ratio, energy consumption and packet losses compared to AODV, DSDV and DSR protocols in both static and dynamic node movement.

Keywords: DSDV, DSR, AODV, EDSR, control overhead, packet drop, delay, delivery ratio, energy consumption.
