Description
Summary:MANETs are considered for many commercial applications, including home networks,nomadic computing, community networks and emergency response networks. Also, there are many applications of MANETs that involve point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communication patterns. Disaster recovery, search and rescue, military applications, videoconferencing or class room settings, public events, interactive television, temporary offices and multi-partiy gaming are common examples of these application [1]. As a consequence, multicast routing has received significant attention over the recent days
