Computer networking is undergoing through a revolution, there are many new techniques emerging in this revolution and ad-hoc network is one of them. Ad-hoc network is a self adjusting infrastructure less network with dynamic topology of mobile nodes. They are being established for a purpose of temporary period. When a node in network wants to transmits data to other node it sends update message (UM) over the whole network, when desired node receive the UM it then send back acknowledgement to source node after that transmission of data takes place. Here UM is sent throughout the network unnecessarily, it increases the power consumption and query rate of network. These are the major drawbacks of this network. To overcome this problem geographic content location protocol (GCLP) is used. GCLP makes use of location information to lower proactive traffic while minimizing query cost. It is based on directional trajectory of UM. It uses location information to achieve scalability and cost effectiveness as measured by distance between clients and discovered servers. In this paper we have given a brief idea about the implementation and working of GCLP.
