MANET (mobile ad-hoc network) is basically a
temporary wireless network made up of mobile nodes, in
which infrastructure is not present. Mobile ad-hoc networks
have dynamic topology and it is self configurable network
where the mobile nodes can move randomly. In MANET,
Routing Protocols are used to establish communication
within networks. These routing protocols help in finding
different routes between nodes, in order to transfer data
from source to sink. The main focus of routing protocol is on
correct and efficient route establishment between nodes, so
that messages can deliver within time. In this paper, we
describe different types of routing protocols for mobile adhoc
networks by presenting their characteristics and
functionalities. Then, a comparison is provided based routing
methodologies and at the end, discussion of their merits and
demerits is done.

In this paper, we have presented and discussed the
taxonomy of routing protocols in mobile ad hoc networks
and provided comparisons between them. The protocols
are divided into three main categories: (i) source-initiated
(reactive or on-demand), (ii) table-driven (pro-active), (iii)
hybrid protocols. For each of these classes, we reviewed
and compared several representative protocols in the form
of table. There are various challenges that need to be met,
so these networks are going to have widespread use in the
future.
