  The mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) represent a broad area of study and
market interest. They provide a wide set of applications in multiple domains.
In that context, the functional and non-functional monitoring of these networks
is crucial. For that purpose, monitoring techniques have been deeply studied in
wired networks using gossip-based or hierarchical-based approaches. However,
when applied to a MANET, several problematics arise mainly due to the absence
of a centralized administration, the inherent MANETs constraints and the nodes
mobility. In this paper, we present a hybrid distributed monitoring
architecture for mobile adhoc networks in context of mobility pattern. We get
inspired of gossip-based and hierarchical-based algorithms for query
dissemination and data aggregation. We define gossip-based mechanisms that help
our virtual hierarchical topology to complete the data aggregation, and then
ensure the stability and robustness of our approach in dynamic environments.
Further, we propose a fully distributed monitoring protocol that ease the nodes
communications. We evaluate our approach through a simulated testbed by using
NS3 and Docker, and illustrate the efficiency of our mechanisms.
