Internet) and a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) for developing A significant volume of research work on MANET has a ubiquitous communication infrastructure. However, IMANET has several limitations to fulfill users’ demands to access various appeared in the literature in the past few years [1], [2], kinds of information such as limited accessibility to the wired [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. However, research on MANET is Internet, insufficient wireless bandwidth, and longer message primarily focused on developing routing protocols to increase latency. In this paper, we address the issues involved in in- connectivities among MTs in a constantly varying topology. formation search and access in IMANET. A broadcast based Due to the users’ interests in accessing the Internet, it is an Simple Search (SS) algorithm and an aggregate caching mechanis
