The topic for our presentation is "Peer to Peer file sharing in Ad Hoc 
MANets".  

We will begin our presentation with a brief overview of P2P networks
in wired newtorks, discuss their architectures.  Then we will discuss 
some pointers about what makes MANets different from wired networks and 
why the existing P2P approaches in wired networks cannot be used as such
in MANets.  

We then discuss about a few papers that focus on developing a P2P file
sharing system MANets.  The various papers are,

1) Adapting Bit Torrent to Ad Hoc Networks - This paper proposes 
modifications to the existing bit torrent protocol and tries it to adopt
to MANets.

2) CarTorrent - A file sharing system VANets

3) ORION - A content sharing system for MANets that use on demand route
setup for searching and file transfer.

We would also discuss the strengths and shortcomings of these papers. 
Finally we talk briefly about our project and some of the shortcomings
that we are planning to address.
