MANETS are the networks that do not need backbone infrastructure support and are easy to deploy.They are Useful in the conditions when infrastructure is absent, destroyed or impractical.It is a dense collection of different nodes such as laptops, handheld computers, PDA and portable computers and mobile devices.Since many of these small computers operate for hours with battery power, users are free to move without being constrained by wires.To sustain such type of circumstances MANET has been designed.MANET has several characteristics such as, dynamic topologies, bandwidth-constrained, variable capacity links, energy constrained operation and limited physical security.The paper reveals the performance comparison of proactive, reactive and hybrid protocols.
