A Survey of Connectionless Network Service Protocols for Mobile AdHoc Networks
A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a network that changes locations and configure itself on the fly. It means MANETs are used where the infrastructure is not available such as military or police exercises, disaster relief operations and urgent business meetings. The stipulation of connectionless network service (CLNS) is much more demanding in mobile ad hoc networks. A lot of researches have been done so as to provide CLNS by designing various MANET protocols. However, efficient performance evaluations and relative analysis of these protocols in a common pragmatic environment have been performed only in a limited manner. In this survey the relative features, functions and reliability of each CLNS protocols are studied and discussed.
