Abstract
An essential matter for ad hoc networks is routingprotocol design which is a major technical challenge due to themobility of the nodes. Routing problem becomes more complexand challengeable, and it probably is the most addressed andstudied problem in ad hoc networks. There are severalclassifications of Routing protocols are used to perform routingthe information from source to destination. Classificationmethods help researchers and designers to understand distinctcharacteristics of a routing protocol and find its relationshipwith others. The main aim of this paper is to explore and tocompare the concept of all routing protocol based on updatemechanism. This classification divided into Table-Driven(Proactive), On-demand (Reactive), Hybrid routing protocols.Also, the comparison is provided based on the routingmechanism and information used to make routing decisions.Also this paper presents an overview of routing issues indifferent cases as well as a detailed discussion of and theirrelative performance. To compare and analyze an ad hocnetwork routing protocols, appropriate classification methodsare important.
