Detailed explanation-1: -An ad hoc network is a temporary type of Local Area Network (LAN). If you set up an ad hoc network permanently, it becomes a LAN. Multiple devices can use an ad hoc network at the same time, but this might cause a lull in performance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Proactive routing protocols maintain information on all routes throughout the network, even if they are not required, so each node registers routes to all other nodes in the network. These protocols exchange control information between nodes on a regular basis, which keeps updated routes for each node in the network.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus routing in ad-hoc networks is more challenging than in wired networks. Ad-hoc routing protocols can be classified into three major groups based on the routing strategy. These are: (1) pro-active or table driven, (2) reactive or on-demand, and (3) hybrid.
