A study of routing protocol for topology configuration management in mobile ad hoc network

Managing today's increasingly complex networks requires extra information, knowledge and autonomic training. Network is being used in various areas and it requires a tool to manage it. Configuration management is one of the functional areas of network management that monitor network and system configuration information so that the effects on network operation of various items like versions of hardware and software elements and routing tables can be tracked and managed. In configuration, topology management issues are even more important in the context of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). In this review paper, we focus on three routing protocols and discussed it in related works. Then we compare these three protocols and derive at our new hybrid protocol for MANETs.
