P2P Over MANET: A Review and Its Conceptual Framework

Lately, Peer to Peer (P2P) over Mobile Ad hoc Network have become a hot topics. Thus, the main motivation of this paper is to review various techniques that have been used in previously reported research of Peer to Peer (P2P) over Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). From the said document, it is identified that all previously techniques used in P2P over MANET have one similarity; namely maintaining the use of TCP/IP stack as network solution, in which the source for high energy resources for their proposed solution. Hence, this paper proposed a new solution beyond the TCP/IP stack paradigms in order to improve energy efficiency in P2P over MANET, whereby through the use of Content Centric Networking (CCN). In detail, this paper has included conceptual framework of our suggested solution. It is hoped that this paper achieves its two objectives: (i) to present a literature review on the topic of P2P over MANET, and (ii) to provide conceptual framework of our suggested solution
