"In Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs) there is no fixed communication infrastructure, so it allows more flexible model of communication than traditional networks. For any active connection in such a networks, the end hosts as well as the intermediate nodes, which relay the information, can be mobile. Because of this dynamic nature, finding stable routes which last for a longer duration among a group of nodes becomes a challenging issue in MANETs. Clustering for MANETs is one of the techniques that offer enhanced scalability and performance improvement."
