A Review Paper on the Comparison of Routing Protocols in MANET

In mobile ad-hoc networks, the task of routing protocols is to control the node’s decision to route the packet from the source to destination. A very significant factor in the determination of efficiency of any Manet protocol is the task of discovering and sustaining the routes in the network. In this network nodes links with other nodes present in the network without any centralized power, instead every node acts as a router that forwards or route the packets to other nodes. In ad hoc networks the node announces its presence and other nodes listens to the announcements made by the nodes in its locality, in this way they come to know the other nodes with which communication can be done. Reactive routing protocols come crossways out the route by flooding the preparation with Route Request packets. The basic target of each network protocol is to find the legitimate route between the two nodes that want to interact. In this paper we will review and evaluate the performances of these protocols.
