However, an environment is necessary to compare the efficiency of these protocols.

In this paper, we present an overview of the Si FT routing protocol and its implementation in ns-3 [10], an open source network simulator.

Live streaming is more demanded due to rapid development in the communication field.

Video streaming is the transmission of multimedia from provider to the end user.

In this paper, we present an overview of the well-known MANET routing protocols and the implementation details of the DSR routing protocol in the ns-3 network simulator.

ABSTRACT: Routing protocols in MANET confront challenges that are not usual in ordinary wired networks.

It has only two major phases, which are Route Discovery and Route Maintenance.

Route Reply would only be generated if the message has reached the intended destination node (route record which is initially contained in Route Request would be inserted into the Route Reply).

MMDSR (Multipath Multimedia Dynamic Source Routing) is a multipath routing protocol DSR-based if merged with a cross-layer framework can provide enhanced Qo S for multiple sources of video over IEEE 802.11e wireless networks.
