Performance analysis for traffics in mobile ad hoc network

Abstract

Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a set of mobile nodes that communicate with radio links. MANET network infrastructure is not defined and there is no centralized administration for controlling the other activities. Classification of traffic types in MANET is initial and would lead to comprehension of quality metrics for each kind of this traffic. In this work we simulate many types of traffic like FTP, Voice, and video conference and we got many results that will help us to decide which security methods could be used without affecting QoS. These simulation scenarios are conducted and testing data is analyzed to test delay in each scenario, the results show significant differences among these scenarios, so we should be more careful when to implement security methods on Voice and multimedia in MANET.
