Abstract: Mobile Ad-hoc networks have been widely researched for many years. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks are a collection of two or more devices equipped with wireless communications and networking capability. Wireless Ad-hoc Networks do not have gateway, every node can act as the gateway. Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET) are a fundamentally flawed architecture. As argument, we try to clarify the definition, architecture and the characters of MANET, as well as the main challenges of constructing the MANET. Although many works have been done to solve the problem, we will show in this paper its advantages and limitations which made the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks a flawed architecture. After giving many evidences and analysis, we could see that the key technologies of Wireless Ad-hoc Networks were not implemented as well as we expect. That is to say, many problems are inherently unsolvable. Thus, we could explain why we take the position that Mobile Ad-hoc Networks are flawed architecture.
