| Summary: | Ad hoc network is a group of wireless mobile computers (or nodes), in which
individual nodes cooperate by forwarding packets for each other to allow nodes to commu-
nicate beyond direct wireless transmission range. Previous research in ad hoc networking
has generally studied the routing problem in a non-adversarial setting by assuming a
trusted environment. In this paper, we present the design and performance evaluation
of a new efficient on demand routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks. Up till now
many routing algorithms have been proposed to solve the routing problem in mobile ad-
hoc networks so it is difficult to compare the performance of different routing protocols
qualitatively as there are many parameters that affect the performance of network. This
paper presents that the proposed on demand routing algorithm performs better in mobile
ad-hoc environment than other traditional algorithms. The proposed TAODV algorithm
performs better for solving routing problems in Mobile Ad Hoc networks. It also describes
the design of a novel on-demand routing algorithm. Most of the proposed algorithms use
a blind
ooding technique during the route discovery process. This method is inefficient
and creates excessive routing overhead. To overcome this problem, the proposed routing
protocol uses a query localization technique that signi�cantly reduces the network traffic
and increases the performance of network. The simulation results clearly show that pro-
posed on demand routing protocol is more efficient and scalable than existing ones.
