  Abstract: Numerous protocols have been developed for mobile ad-hoc networks. Such protocols must deal with the typical limitations of these networks. There are several different approaches to the Mobile Ad-hoc Routing Protocols. In view of a large mobile ad-hoc network as in a battlefield, we would require a highly scalable and survivable network routing protocol. Landmark Routing (LANMAR) Protocol [ ] offers hierarchical routing with multi routing protocols capabilities; these features offer a highly scalable and robust routing fabric. LANMAR uses two distinct routing protocols. In our project, we use DSDV distance vector routing protocol [ ] for inter-network routing, and Fisheye State Routing (FSR) link state protocol [ ] for routing within each sub-networks. By offering a multi-protocol routing, it combines the strength of each routing protocols for different scope, and it provides redundant routes to the destination favoring the more reliable route. As such it could achieve a more robust and efficient route. As there were no hierarchical multi routing protocols model available on OPNET, we embarked to design and develop the LANMAR routing protocol model library on OPNET Modeler release 10.5. This presentation focuses on the effort undertaken by Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) and Defence Science & Technology Agency (DSTA) Singapore, to model the LANMAR routing protocol using DSDV and FSR on the OPNET Modeler, and evaluate the performance of the LANMAR routing fabric in the mobile ad-hoc network.
