Background
MANETs are networks comprising independent wireless nodes (hosts), communicating without the help of any backbone or centralized control. Hosts have to act as routers as well and packets are exchanged between hosts via possible multihop routing. At any given time, the status of the communication links between the routers is a function of their positions, transmission power levels, antenna patterns, cochannel interference levels, etc. The transmission medium is essentially lossy, unreliable and low in bandwidth.
The primary interest in MANETs is their ability to provide communication in a ubiquitous
and rapidly deployable manner. Applications include disaster relief, national security and
military operations. With the rapid technological advances made by commercial portable
devices such as Bluetooth, MANETs are beginning to find applications in the
commercial world as well. The setting up of ``on the fly'' communication for conferences,
exhibitions, sale presentations and virtual learnings are but a few examples.

"There are two ways of constructing a software design; one way is to make it so
simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so
complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more
difficult."

"Music has no effect on research work, but both are born of the same source of
longing and they complement each other through the satisfaction that bestow. "

"The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in
the midst of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability. Our business in every generation is
to reclaim a little more land."
