Abstract :
While efforts have been made recently to evaluate the performance of multicasting protocols in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and to evaluate the capacity of ad hoc networks, very little is understood or known about the traffic characteristics of mobile ad hoc networks and its effect on the performance of the existing multicasting protocols. In this paper, traffic models for multicast protocols in MANET are outlined. A literature survey for multicast protocols in MANET is conducted. Classification for most MANET multicast protocols is presented. A research to evaluate the performance of the existing multicast protocols in MANET using self-similarity traffic model is proposed & justified
