摘要：Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are wireless, infrastructure less, self-configuring, dynamic topology, lower range, lower power network where all the nodes act as router as well as hosts. MANETs having dynamic topology are themselves responsible for finding the route to other nodes for communication. From the past few years mobile ad hoc networks have gained attention of many researchers because of some issues present in it that need serious considerations. Routing is one of the main issues of concern in this paper, we present some of existing routing protocols and challenges faced by those routing protocols. Comparative analysis of various flat routing protocols and hierarchical routing protocols along with their advantages and disadvantages is depicted.
