Abstract—Multicasting is kind of subset of broadcasting in which we have to send data to the selected number of receivers present in the group. The group is called as multicasting group. The routing protocols are being for the sending of packets and managing of nodes. The objective of this paper is to research the current state of the art of existing multicast routing protocols for MANETs, and compare different approaches. There are three main classes of routing protocols for MANETs: reactive, proactive and hybrid. By studying advantages and disadvantages of each one, a new hybrid routing protocol is proposed. The new scheme of protocol, considers utilizing merits of both ODMRP and MAODV protocols, and implements them as a hybrid approach. It allows that a mobile node flexibly runs either a mesh or a tree routing protocol with its velocity and its traffic. The study is done by performance analysis of two well-known multicast routing protocols which are MAODV and ODMRP. Some of the perspective is being studied and an outer diagram is being proposed of new routing protocol. The two routing protocols are being compared on the basis of different parameters.
