Comparison of three major routing protocols in a MANET of sensor network shows that in terms of end to end delay. network load and throughput AODV performs better than other two. In other sense. reactive routing protocols performs better than proactive routing protocols. As. AODV routing protocol is suited for a large scale network and DSDV routing protocol suited for a small scale network. the AODV routing protocol is preferred more than the DSDV routing protocol.
