A mobile ad hoc network is a pear to pear wireless Network where nodes can communicate to each other without the use of infrastructure such as access point and base station. In MANET each Node work as a routers and Node cooperate to provide connectivity, operates without centralize administrator routing is always the most significant part of any network .MANET is a highly challenges Network environment due to special character such as decentralization dynamic topology and neighbors based each mobile Node acts as on point and Node when it is the source and destination of the communication and forward packet to other Node when it is an intermediate Node of the root .Routing is difficult in MANET because any node can leave or join the network at any time (nodes are free to move and are independent of each other) so the topology of these types of networks keeps on changing dynamically which results in difficult routing , so routing is most concerns areas in these networks . In this Minor Project we will perform a comparative study between AODV (Unicast) and MAODV (Multicast) routing protocol and we will show different performance matrices such as average packet delay ratio getter with varying using different synonyms. %U http://www.ijeecs.org/archive/04.November2012_IJEECS_p21%E2%80%8B297.pdf?attredirects=0
