What is the difference between proactive and reactive routing in mobile ad hoc networks?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) Proactive (table-driven) maintains routes to all destinations continuously; reactive (on-demand) discovers routes only when needed, reducing overhead in sparse networks
B
Correct Answer
Proactive (table-driven) maintains routes to all destinations continuously; reactive (on-demand) discovers routes only when needed, reducing overhead in sparse networks
Explanation
OLSR, DSDV: proactive — always ready but consumes bandwidth maintaining routes. AODV, DSR: reactive — lower overhead but route discovery delay. Hybrid protocols (ZRP) combine both.
