An Ad Hoc Network Is a Collection of Wireless Mobile Hosts Forming a Temporary Network Without
The Aid of any Centralized Administration or Infrastructure. Such Networks Have No Fixed Topology Due To
The High Degree of Node Mobility. Hence, Efficient and Reliable Routing Is One of the Key Challenges In
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. Many Routing Algorithms Have Been Proposed and Developed For Accomplishing
This Task. Therefore, It Is Difficult to Determine Which Protocol Performs Best Under a Number of Different
Scenarios. Hence, This Paper Presents Review and a Comparison of the Typical Representatives of Routing
Protocols Designed For Manets and the Study In Which Discussed About Typesofmanet,
