Abstract: Ad hoc networks are characterized by multi-hop wireless connectivity, frequently changing network topology and the need for efficient dynamic routing proto-cols. We compare the performance of two prominent ondemand routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks -- Dy-namic Source Routing (DSR) and Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV). A detailed simulation modelwith MAC and physical layer models is used to study interlayer interactions and their performance implications. Wedemonstrate that even though DSR and AODV share a similar on-demand behavior, the differences in the protocol me-chanics can lead to significant performance differentials. The performance differentials are analyzed using varyingnetwork load, mobility and network size. Based on the observations, we make recommendations about how the per-formance of either protocol can be improved.
