MANETs are unplanned, self-configuring network composed of mobile nodes that utilize mesh networking principles for inter-connectivity. MANETs are IP networks made up of a collection of wireless and mobile nodes communicating via radio links that can temporarily form a network whenever they coexist in the same neighborhood without any fixed infrastructure such as base stations for mobile switching and no centralized administration. Generally the nodes have a limited transmission range, such that each node seeks some assistance of its neighboring nodes to forward packets.
