A Study On STMRP And MMR-LA Multicast Routing Protocols In Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

MANET is a distributed wireless network which is suitable for multitasking due to its characteristics such as free mobility, self-configuration, and fast deployment. Most of the existing multicast routing protocols in MANETs support only single source multicasting and become inefficient for multi-source multi-casting. Also the mobility characteristics of each node are assumed to be constant, and so they do not scale well when the mobility parameters are stochastic and unknown. These problems in MANETs are overcome by two protocols namely, STMRP and MMR-LA. STMRP supports efficient multicasting in the multi- source environment and MMR-LA performs mobility-based efficient multicasting. In this paper, these two protocols have been studied and a comparative analysis on these two protocols has been made. The performance of these protocols has been compared in terms of packet delivery ratio, multicast route lifetime, and end-to-end delay. The performance results show that MMR-LA is more efficient than STMRP.
