Ad hoc network is a decentralized network in which organization of network, message transmission and delivery is executed with nodes themselves. Routing is a critical issue that determines the performance of the network. This paper is a multifold, impression, study, and simulation based paper. At first impersonation of Ad hoc, Cloud, Ad hoc cloud and Internet of Things (IoT) is done. Then a study is done to identify the most important and effective performance parameters, metrics, factors and issues of Ad hoc network. In the last part the routing protocol named AODV, DSR, TORA, OLSR and GRP are simulated, implemented and then performance analysis of these protocols are done considering important parameters that are identified in this study.
