MaNet has emerged as one of the most focused and thrust research areas in the field of wireless networks and mobile computing. In ad hoc mobile networks, routes are mainly multi hop because of the limited radio propagation range and topology changes frequently and unpredictably since each network host moves randomly. Therefore, routing is an integral part of ad hoc communications. Many routing protocols are proposed for MaNet. The protocols are mainly classified in to three categories: Proactive, Reactive and Hybrid. Proactive routing protocols attempt to maintain consistent, up-to-date routing information from each node to every other node in the network. Reactive routing protocols creates routes only when desired by the source node. Once a route has been established, it is maintained by a route maintenance procedure.
