Advanced Networking

Ad hoc network is a set up anywhere without any need for external infrastructure such as wires of base station. However there is an increasing need for connectivity in situations where there is no base station available there emerges ad hoc networks. They are often mobile and termed as MANET and it is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. Each node operates as an end system and a router for all other nodes in the network. A good number work of work has been devoted over the past few years in designing scalable routing protocols for MANETs.
