A Survey on Various MANET Protocols

In recent years, mobile technology is popular among the human society which makes the humans connected virtually to both living things [Social Media] and non living things [IOT]. MANET plays a vital role in wireless network infrastructure. Ad-hoc Wireless network consist of a two or more mobile nodes connected wirelessly in a self configured, self-healing network without having a constant framework. Each and every device in MANET was able to move freely in any directions to share the information between each devices or nodes of network. Many routing protocols for such networks have been proposed so far to find optimized routes from source to the destination and prominent among them are Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV), and Destination-Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV) routing protocols. The charateristics comparison of these protocols should be considered as the primary step to understand the routing protocol in a perfect manner.
