Abstract: Routing in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) is challenging due to the mobility of node, DSR and other reactive protocols needed to keep track of the intermittent changes of topology. Stale information in node’s caches results in erroneous routing decisions. In this study an AODV-hello mechanism for link availability checking will be used which will decrease error transmission on dead rout path. A comparison and performance evaluation of standard DSR and hybrid DSR routing protocols expose outperformance of the proposed protocol. The simulation has been implemented using NS2 simulator to identify and evaluate the new protocol for MANET’s.
