Abstract— Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of two or more mobile device that communicates with each other without fixed infrastructure and can survive intense changes in the network topology. Each node in network not only operates as an end system, but also as a router to forward packets. Routing in ad hoc networks has become a popular research topic. There are several routing protocols have been developed for ad hoc networks. In MANET, it is very stiff task to predict the performance of routing protocol under varying network conditions and scenarios. During this paper we are discussing three approaches of routing protocols such as Reactive (On demand), Proactive (table driven) and Hybrid routing protocols with main focus on operation of particular routing protocols within their advantage and disadvantage.
