A Comparative Study of Current Routing Protocol in Wireless Ad-Hoc Network

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a wireless network that offers multi-hop peer to-peer routing mechanism in place of static network infrastructure which provide network connectivity. The network topology in a MANET usually changes with time. An Ad hoc network is a set of network in which all peripherals have same status on a network and have ability to maintain link status information for any number . With this approach certain challenges arises in different routing protocol in wireless trasmission.This paper gives a review of existing routing protocols and their comparative study by giving their characteristics, functionality, advantages, disadvantages and limitation among them .
