of mobile nodes. These nodes constantly change the topologies and communicate via
a wireless medium. The transmission range of the nodes in MANETs is usually limited [3], so nodes within a network need to reply data packets over several intermediate nodes to communicate. Thus nodes in MANETs act as both hosts and routers.
Since the nodes in MANETs are mobile, designing an appropriate routing technique
for MANETs needs to be flexible enough to adapt to arbitrarily changing network
topologies, and to support efficient bandwidth and energy management, since low
powered batteries operate the nodes [4]. Ketegori : Information technology
