Mobile ad hoc networks are having no particular or fixed infrastructure for the network. It works on the IP and also works on wireless devices like machines, laptops and cell phones etc. In the process of working these networks, they don’t have any mechanism for administering. These networks are very famous and will work on the basis of temporary basis. Several protocols are available for working on these sorts of networks and in the current work, we had considered the implementation of two famous protocols like DSR and RIP. In the current problem of the implementation and performance analysis, an attempt has been made to analyze the implementation and performance of the above two said both reactive and proactive routing protocols. A simulation model was developed and analyzed the performance of the current model with two above said protocols such that the use of MAC layer and also physical models. The analysis model was implemented in the network simulator ns-2 and the results and the comparison were developed in the current article.
