INTRODUCTION Network wide broadcasting in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks provides Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are created on the fly. No important control and route establishment functionality for a num- fixed infrastructure is included in the configuration of the network, ber of unicast and multicast protocols. Considering its wide use as some nodes in the network are expected to assist in the routing a building block for other network layer protocols, the MANET of packets, and all hosts are allowed to move freely through the community needs to standardize a single methodology that effi- network. Successful routing protocols provide means to deliver ciently delivers a packet from one node to all other network nodes. packets to destination nodes given these dynamic topologies. Despite a considerable number of proposed broadcasting schemes, Network wide broadcasting, simply referred to as “broadcasting” no comprehensive comparative analysis has been prev
