Abstract: In wireless sensor networks the routing protocol and path selection are two of the most important factors while designing the network. Owing to the severe limitations on the resources available, the selected protocol should provide high-energy efficiency without compromising in terms of data delivery rate, security, integrity. Hence, the analysis of the characteristics of these protocols is the major step before selecting them for real-world applications. In this paper, Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocols have been simulated using Network Simulator 2 (NS2.35) software package. Performance parameters such as instantaneous throughput, total energy consumption of the network, residual energy of each node, packet delivery rate and average throughput have been calculated over multiple networks of 100, 150 and 200 nodes. The simulation runs for 65 seconds and each network has two static client and sink nodes. The data traffic starts at t = 1.0 and stops at t = 61.0 where (t) is time in seconds. Graphical representation has been done with the help of data extraction and manipulation based on trace files and drawing software. Experiments reveal the characteristics and behaviour of these protocols to substantiate the conclusions.
