There are many benefits of multicasting using with network. The communication cost reduced by multicasting for applications that sends the same data to many recipients instead of sending via multiple unicast. This paper gives a general survey of multicast routing protocols in Mobile adhoc Networks (MANETs). The multicast routing protocols are divided into two categories-multicast routing based on application independence and multicast routing based on application dependence. Multicast routing
