Mobile Ad- hoc Network is an infrastructure less multi hop ad-hoc network where the intermediate nodes are used to transmit their recorded data from source to destination from source to destination. Due to the use of mobile ad-hoc network many issues in communication has been solved, as MANET can be deployed in those areas where a fixed network is a big problem. A hostile network is a network which is considered to be of mobile nodes deployed in a particular area where communication is very feeble. This hostile network may be made by natural calamities or disaster activities which have shut down the entire available infrastructure network. In this paper we have compared the performance of three MANET routing protocols i.e. FSR, LAR1 and ZRP whereas the random waypoint mobility model is considered for the movement of nodes. All the situation considered are done by using Qualnet Simulator 6.1.
