Because ofits relative simplicity andlow schemesforMANET.In theseschemes, the overhead, overlay multicasting forMANEThasbeen multicasting function isnotprovided directly by widely explored allovertheworld. Bynow,many networking layer. Instead, avirtual overlay network overlay multicast protocols forMANEThavebeen amongthemulticast group members isbuilt onthe proposed. Butmostofthese protocols aimonlyat topofthephysical network. Eachlink inthevirtual improving theefficiency andignore thedynamic and network isaunicast tunnel inthephysical network.
