Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is an infrastructure less wireless network of mobile nodes (Smart phones, Laptops, iPads, PDAs etc.) that self-configure to reconstruct their topology and route table information for the exchange of data packets. In MANET there is no central administration framework for design obligation. Every versatile node uninhibitedly moves, enter and detach with no pre information. The wireless links in this network are highly unsecure and can go down frequently due to mobility of nodes, interference and less infrastructure. In this research paper an attempt has been made to discuss the characteristics, limitations and comparative analysis of routing protocols in MANETS.
