Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) have become a popular subject in the last decade. It is hard to underestimate the potential of this technology to the future of wireless networks, including wireless telephony. MANET is an attractive concept particularly due to the robustness of the infrastructure even under disaster situations.Yet, MANETs are not mature and a plethora of problems remain open --- efficient routing is one of the problems requiring more research effort. A few solutions have been proposed but thus far there is no consensus about their usefulness in real world scenarios. This paper briefly looks at the existing routing algorithms and discusses why clustering is advantageous in a MANET setting; it discusses how clustering nodes in a MANET can potentially facilitate routing. This paper also discusses how the population social structure is used as a motivation for a clustering of node in MANETs and how the clustering may improve routing in these networks.
