Adhoc wireless multi-hop Networks (AHWMNs) are built with wireless nodes arranged in an adhoc manner. Every node can forward packets and also acts as a source. AODV establishes a path to receiver when it is needed by the sender and is on the standardization process of Internet engineering task force. AntHocNetwhich is based on ants foraging behavior, includes reactive and proactive mechanisms. AntHocNet builds the path as per the requirement of source and maintains until the end of communication session. In this paper performance of AODV and AntHocNetare analyzed at different parameters like data rates, pause times, and speed. Metrics Packet delivery ratio, Loss rate, End to End delay, jitter, and throughput are evaluated at different simulation times. Simulation is performed using network simulator NS-2.34 and 802.11b is the MAC protocol
