Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is the emerging
technology used for various applications such as battlefield
communications, emergence operations, search and rescue and
disaster relief operations. It consist a group of mobile nodes.
The most salient research challenges in this area include end-toend
data transfer, link access control and security. In order to
improve the data transfer between these mobile nodes, many
routing protocols are proposed. Opportunistic data forwarding
has drawn much attention in the research community of multihop
wireless networking, with most research conducted for
stationary wireless networks. Opportunistic routing in MANET
is a challenging one. Use of efficient routing methods which
supports opportunistic routing in MANET will give better
throughput with minimum delay and overhead. Review of such
type routing protocols are described in this paper.

Recently the mobile ad hoc network has been used in
many areas. Here this work focused on one of the routing
method known as opportunistic routing in the mobile ad
hoc network. Here reviewed the existing techniques that
can support opportunistic data forwarding. However, the
current study highlights the fact that there are still a lot of
challenges and issues in this area that need to be resolved
to become more applicable to real life situations.
