摘要：Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) includes a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any stand-alone infrastructure or centralized administration. MANET is a self-organized and self-configurable network in which the mobile nodes move randomly. In MANETs appropriate routing algorithm is necessary to find special routes between source and destination. The main goal of any ad-hoc network routing protocol is to meet the challenges from the dynamically changing topology and establish an efficient route between any two nodes with minimum routing overhead and bandwidth consumption. The protocols are different in terms of routing methodologies and the information used to make routing decisions. Therefore a several protocols are introduced for improving the routing mechanism to find route between any source and destination host across the network. In this paper we present a survey on routing protocols and we review OLSR
