Mobile ad hoc networks as an infrastructure free, and constrained resource environment network. The network aimis to establish internet connectivity everywhere regardless of location. The applications of network are healthcare,disaster relief and military, where reliable communication is major concern. Communication in the network isinitiated by establishing the communication route between source and destination and sending the informationthrough it. One of the characteristics of MANETs is a peer-to-peer network, where intermediate nodes have tocooperate for reliable communication by acting as routers. In literature number of routing protocols have beendesigned based on the MANET’s peer to peer characteristic. However, it may not be every time true that theintermediate nodes act as faithful routers, and they may untrustworthy either due to malicious behavior orbottleneck. Number of secure protocols have been designed to mitigate malicious behavior by neglecting thebottleneck. The paper aims to define the bottleneck, and its importance in communication. Finally, how bottleneckinfluence on the MANETs performance during malicious nodes mitigation
