Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are self-configuring, infrastructure-less networks of mobile devices connected wirelessly. Each node in a MANET can act as a router, forwarding data packets between nodes. MANETs are used in various applications such as military communications, disaster recovery, and vehicular networks.NS2 (Network Simulator 2) is widely used to simulate network protocols and topologies for both wired and wireless networks. For MANETs, NS2 allows users to define various node mobility patterns, routing protocols, and network characteristics.Evaluate the performance of the network using metrics like packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, throughput, and routing overhead.
