Wireless mobile ad-hoc networks are characterized as networks without any physical connections. In these networks there is no fixed topology due to the mobility of nodes, interference, multipath propagation and path loss. Hence a dynamic routing protocol is needed for these networks to function properly. Many Routing protocols have been developed for accomplishing this task. The purpose of this paper is to study, understand, analyze and discuss mobile ad-hoc routing protocol DSR (Bouke, 2011) which is a on demand protocol. Considering the No. of hops, Traffic sent, Traffic received, route discovery time, Delay, throughput and network load in DSR routing protocol, it is evaluated and analyzed over different data rates (Bapuji and Sharma, 2011).
