摘要：A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a dynamic distributed system of wireless nodes that move independently of each other. The operating transmission range of the nodes is limited and as a result, MANET routes are often multi-hop in nature. Any node in a MANET can become a source or destination, and each node can function as a router, forwarding data for its peers. MANET routing protocols are either proactive or reactive in nature. Proactive routing protocols determine and maintain routes between any pair of nodes irrespective of their requirement. The reactive on-demand routing protocols determine a route only when required. As the network topology changes dynamically, reactive on-demand routing has been preferred over proactive routing .In this Paper, we will review the routing protocol in the MANET.
