摘要：Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) also called mesh networks are self-configuring networks of mobile devices connected by wireless links. MANETs are deployed in situations where there is no existing infrastructure with dynamic topology such as military, etc. Each application has a different set of requirements. Here we concentrate on having an efficient communication in the network .Le. efficient routing of the nodes. The objective of our work is that a single protocol will not serve all the purposes required for communication in the MANETs. Due to the highly mobile and the infrastructure-less nature of the MANETs it is not possible to apply the principle of “one size fits all” for protocols. Switching between the protocols can resolve this problem but builds up an overhead in the network as it needs an external agent to monitor the environment and dictate to the network on which protocol should be chosen. Therefore, the nodes present in the network can be made intelligent enough to sense its environment and select the suitable protocol ,that is , the switching can be done at the node level itself so as to reduce the overhead in the network and to make the routing more efficient.
