摘要：A Mobile Ad Hoc network(MANET) belongs to the infrastructure less category of wireless networks. It is a collection of nodes which are mobile in nature and transmit data to each other. These mobile nodes move independently, themselves act as routers and take part in the discovery of the routes and their maintenance. MANET works with wide range of protocols which are Table Driven, On-Demand and combination of both the Table Driven and On-Demand protocols. Security of the MANET is an important concern because of its characteristics such as actively changing topology, frequent motion of nodes that act as routers in the network. Various kinds of attacks effect the security of MANET and these attacks needs to be discovered and mitigated. We examine in this Paper the important features of the MANET such as Types of MANET, Routing Protocols, Various Applications of MANET, the problems of Security in MANET.
