Abstract: Multicasting is a challenging task that facilitates group communication among the nodes using the most efficient strategy to deliver the messages over each link of the network. In spite of significant research achievements in recent years, efficient and extendable multicast routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) is still a difficult issue. This paper proposes the comparison of ODMR and PUMA protocol. As per the simulation results PUMA is better than ODMR.
