As the number of portable computer users continues to grow, the demand for wireless communication scheme which enhances users’ mobility is increasing. If several nodes are within transmission range of each other, then data transfer can be done by means of a multihop path, from one node to another although these nodes are not placed within close proximity to each other. These nodes form a network called Mobile Ad Hoc (MANET). In this network nodes function as both mobile routers and hosts, therefore making a routing protocol different from those used in conventional networks necessary. One of the routing protocol used is DSDV (Destination Sequenced Distance Vector). By using NS2 as a simulator, this routing protocol can be analysed.
