Mobile Ad Hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any centralized administration, in which individual nodes cooperate by forwarding packets to each other to allow nodes to communicate beyond direct wireless transmission range.Routing is a process of exchanging information from one station to other stations of the network.Routing protocols of mobile ad-hoc network tend to need different approaches from existing Internet protocols because of dynamic topology, mobile host, distributed environment, less bandwidth, less battery power.Ad Hoc routing protocols can be divided into two categories: table-driven (proactive schemes) and ondemand routing (reactive scheme) based on when and how the routes are discovered.In Table-driven routing protocols each node maintains one or more tables containing routing information about nodes in the network whereas in on-demand routing the routes are created as and when required.The table driven routing protocols is Destination Sequenced Distance Vector Routing protocols (DSDV).The on-demand routing protocols are Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR).
