Abstract
Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. Infrastructure-less environment and frequently changing topology due to mobility of nodes makes routing a difficult task. There is no centralized control such as base station and can be set up according to demand wherever required. Effective routing protocol is required for finding the optimum path as per the application requirement. In this paper, analysis has been carried out about various basic routing protocols techniques, issues related to them especially in MANETs routing and performance comparison of different proposed approaches in terms of different network performance parameters.

Summary
The data communication is transmission of data between different devices [1]. The basic requirements of any communication system are source, destination and communication medium. Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) are selfconfiguring network of wireless devices with no access point or a centralized control [1]. MANETs have changed the wireless scenario for data communication, a number of issues still remain to be touched. As the nodes can enter or leave the network at any moment, topology changes frequently and it becomes very difficult to select a forwarding node to route the packets. We have focused upon the most important challenge i.e. routing in such highly dynamic networks and list out various network parameters that has to be considered for data communication while designing and selecting a particular routing protocol.
