	abstract = {Abstract{\textemdash} Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are becoming
more essential to wireless communications due to growing
popularity of mobile devices. The integration of mobile ad hoc
devices inside vehicles has led to another type of networks, called
Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) which are also becoming
important. These networks require specialized routing protocols
due to their ad hoc nature. The performance of these protocols
has been tested for the case of general traffic but not in respect
with to multimedia traffic and especially video transmission. In
this paper we conduct a number of simulations in order to
evaluate the performance of three of the most popular routing
protocols for MANETs and VANETs, namely AODV, DSR and
OLSR, for different number of simultaneous video transmissions.
We use the packet delivery ratio, the end-to-end delay, the packet
delay variation (jitter) and the routing overhead as evaluation
metrics. The results indicate that the DSR protocol outperforms
AODV and OLSR in terms of end-to-end delay and packet delay
variation and seems to be the most efficient routing protocol
when multimedia traffic and especially video traffic is
considered.},
