摘要：Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a network of mobile devices which are connected wirelessly. This network is a self-configuring network as it rebuilds its topology and information in the routing table for exchanging the data packets every time whenever a node either joins or leave the ad-hoc network. Due to the distinct characteristics of this network including dynamic topology, hop-by-hop communication and speedy set-up, MANETs face various issues primarily including routing, security, and clustering. As the use of wireless devices and the wireless networks is going to be increased day by day, so it is required to improve the working of such networks. It is assumed that the framework of mobile networks may be improved by taking inspirations from the biological structures of high-spirited. This study aims to compare Swarm Intelligence based routing protocols specifically Ant-Net and Honeybee-based routing algorithms in MANET that may help the researchers in selection of a routing protocol when working with MANETs. These algorithms work adaptively towards the intelligence behavior of ants and bees which these insects use for searching food from their colonies or hives. Extensive experiments have been performed using Network Simulator 2 (NS2) for a comprehensive analysis and examination of the selected protocols by considering performance metrics including end-to-end delay and throughput.
