A REVIEW ON ADVANCED TRAFFIC CONTROL TECHNIQUES IN MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORK

A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a dynamicdistributed system of wireless nodes that moveindependently of each other. The operating transmissionrange of the nodes is limited and as a result, MANETroutes are often multi-hop in nature. Any node in aMANET can become a source or destination, and eachnode can function as a router, forwarding data for its peers.MANET routing protocols are either proactive or reactivein nature. Proactive routing protocols determine andmaintain routes between any pair of nodes irrespective oftheir requirement. The reactive on-demand routingprotocols determine a route only when required. As thenetwork topology changes dynamically, reactive ondemandrouting has been preferred over proactive routing.In this Paper, we will review the routing protocol in theMANET.
