This document analyzes and proposes improvements to the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks, comparing it with AODV and DSDV protocols in various scenarios. The authors introduce a modified DSR (M-DSR) algorithm that enhances performance metrics such as end-to-end delay and packet delivery ratio through route management techniques. Simulation results indicate that M-DSR outperforms traditional DSR in terms of efficiency, particularly in environments with high node mobility.
