Performance Analysis of Traffic Types in AODV Routing Protocol for VANETs

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are the intelligent system that allows vehicles to act like nodes, where there is a starting node, end node and any vehicle between these nodes can act as an intermediate node. Every node has high mobility and fast-changing topology. Each node can sense its coverage area to make available services related to traffic control. To make a connection between nodes routing is done with the help of routing protocol. The reactive routing protocol called Ad-Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) is the most advanced and commonly used in topology-based routing. Nodes (i.e. Vehicles) are fast moving thus the connection between nodes breaks frequently. This paper, we are going to analyze the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters for UDP and TCP traffic types. This paper is presenting a normal AODV routing protocol to analyze QoS parameters that are Delay and Throughput. We are using Linux based platform software's and doing result analysis using Network Simulator-2 (NS-2).
