Wireless Network can be configured in two ways, infrastructure less and infrastructure based. Mobile Ad Hoc Network is self- healing infrastructure less network consisting of mobile devices which are connected wirelessly. Since the nodes are mobile, the network topology may change rapidly over time. The network has no centralized control and all network activity including discovering the topology and delivering messages must be executed by the nodes themselves, i.e., routing algorithms will be incorporated into mobile nodes. In this paper, we analyze the performance of Mobile Ad Hoc Network using different routing protocols namely AODV, ZRP, DYMO, OLSR, RIP . The performance parameters which we analyzed are throughput, average jitter, average end to end delay, energy consumption and network life time using QualNet 5.0 Simulator. The result shows that neither of the protocol is best in all situations. For some parameters one outperforms the other and vice-versa for some other parameters.
