A mobile ad hoc network (MANET), is a self-configuring infra structureless network of mobile devices connected by wireless links. ad hoc is Latin and means "for this purpose".
Each device in a MANET is free to move independently in any direction, and will therefore change its links to other devices frequently. Each must forward traffic unrelated to its own use, and therefore be a router. The primary challenge in building a MANET is equipping each device to continuously maintain the information required to properly route traffic. Such networks may operate by themselves or may be connected to the larger Internet.
MANETs are a kind of wireless ad hoc networks that usually has a routeable networking environment on top of a Link Layer ad hoc network.
The growth of laptops and 802.11/Wi-Fi wireless networking have made MANETs a popular research topic since the mid 1990s. Many academic papers evaluate protocols and their abilities, assuming varying degrees of mobility within a bounded space, usually with all nodes within a few hops of each other. Different protocols are then evaluated based on measure such as the packet drop rate, the overhead introduced by the routing protocol, end-to-end packet delays, network throughput etc.

wow!!! It's like 11 players in football team. During match they are well connected with each other but frequently changing their position. They are also intelligent enough to identify/decide the player the ball is indented to . They forward/pass the ball to that player. wow!!! It's like 11 players in football team.

They forward/pass the ball to that player. It's also a team without captain (self-configuring infra structureless network). The mobility of players keep changing the configuration of network to achieve a purpose of this moment.
