Ali,

Can you help me with these queries. After a packet comes from Network layer 
into the MAC layer, does the MAC layer reads all of its contents till the end 
of packet or just the destination address in order to proceed with RTS/CTS 
process and then eventually sending out the packet? Another question would be, 
do MANETs implement ARP to resolve unknown MAC addresses just like in wired 
LANs, or is there any other process to map ip address to MAC address in 
MANETS.

Thanks in advance
