A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a distinctive example of a decentralized, self-organizing, and self-managing wireless ad hoc network. MANET is utilized in several domains such as rescue operations, real-time information dissemination, interpersonal communication, information exchange, and network partitioning. MANET exhibits dynamic alterations in both its structure and nodes to facilitate rapid data transmission. The mobility of nodes presents numerous opportunities for routing design difficulties among them. A list of routing protocols exists, each with unique characteristics, developed for certain locations,, and compared based on various metrics. This study provides a comprehensive overview and comparison of several MANET routing strategies, along with their limitations in ad hoc routing networks.
