Abstract: Mobile Ad Hoc Network is a collection of mobile nodes forming temporary network. In MANET routing protocols are classified as Proactive, Reactive and Hybrid. The work presented here evaluates performance of three Reactive routing protocols such as AODV, DSR and TORA under six performance metrics such as packet delivery ratio, routing overhead, packet loss, normalized routing load, throughput and end to end delay The nodes follow two realistic mobility models such as Reference Point Group Mobility model (RPGM) and Manhattan Grid (MG) model. This work also presents the statistical analysis of AODV, DSR and TORA in Manhattan Grid (MG) model and Reference Point Group Mobility (RPGM) model in low load with low speed, average load with average speed, high load with high speed and very high load with high speed. Contribution in this work is beneficial in deciding which protocol to choose for better QoS.
