A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) consists of a set of autonomous, self-configuring, decentralized, power constrained mobile hosts that may communicate with one another from time to time without any base station support. Each host is equipped with a CSMA/CA (carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance) transceiver. Routing is the process of finding a path from a source to some arbitrary destination on the network. In this paper Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP), which is hybrid routing protocol in MANET, is evaluated. Zone Routing Protocol (ZRP) is a most promising and widely used in scenario where nodes are placed in zone structure. The performance of this protocol is analyzed using performance metrics throughput, packet delivery ratio and average end-to-end delay. The total packets routed through Interzone Routing Protocol (IERP) are also analyzed using network simulator Qualnet 5.0.2.
