AB - A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a dynamic wireless network that consists of mobile nodes 
communicating in the routing without any infrastructure. Routing is one of the interesting areas in MANETs. 
Routing in the MANET is a challenging task and selecting one routing protocol with all suitable features is 
difficult.  A  growing  attention  in  MANETs  is  providing  stable  routes  with  long  route  lifetime,  low  control 
overhead, low end to end delay and high packet delivery ratio and etc. In this paper, we provide an overview 
and comparison of different reactive routing protocols for MANETs
