Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes interconnected by wireless media. Due to the dynamic topology, developing better routing protocol became a challenging tasks. Multi-path routing protocol is one of the approaches used to have less overhead, better bandwidth cost by distributing the load among a set of paths . However, due to interfering in the channels of the paths, multi-path increases the end to end delay and do not work well in highly congested networks. In this paper we propose a congestion aware multi-path Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (CAWMP-DSR). we generate a set of disjoint multi-paths and handle the problem of end to end delay using the correlation factor measurement. A set of path selection criteria have been used to improve the end to end delay. The simulation experiments are conducted using GloMoSim network simulator. We will compare the performance of the suggested algorithm to the performance of the conventional Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (DSR).
