Wireless ad hoc network represents a system of wireless nodes that can freely and dynamically self-organize into arbitrary and temporary network topologies, allowing people and devices to seamlessly internet-work in areas without any preexisting communication infrastructure. The routing protocols of this network elapsed much time in route discovery and route maintenances. In this research work we have studied the performance of routing protocols DSR and AODV when the nodes involved in video conferencing. Simulation studies show that AODV is better than DSR in coverage area with acceptable delay and packet loss.
