Peer-to-peer (P2P) network is an alternative of client/server system for sharing resources, e.g. files. P2P network is a robust, distributed and fault tolerant architecture. There are basic two types of P2P networks, structured P2P network and unstructured P2P network. Each of them has its own applications and advantages. Due recent advances in wireless and mobile technology, the P2P network can be deployed over mobile ad hoc network (MANET). We consider the scenarios of P2P network over MANET where all nodes are not the members of P2P network. Due to limited radio range and the mobility of nodes in MANET, there can occur network partition and merging of networks in the physical network. This can also lead to P2P network partition and merging at overlay layer. When two physical networks merge by coming into communication range of each other then their P2P networks would not be connected at …
