Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is one of the implemented types of MANETs.WMN is wireless network, in which each node can communicate directly with one or other peer nodes.In generally, MANET routing protocols are used in WMN, it arises performance issues.In this paper, we propose a new routing protocol called, Elliptical routing protocol, which evaluates the performance via simulator.We show that elliptical routing protocol accomplishes than MANET routing protocols in terms of various routing metrics such as packet delivery ratio, packet loss ratio, routing overhead, throughput, hop count, ETX and ETT.We are also proposing two new routing metrics CLF and RSF, these metrics also shows that, the proposed protocol outperforms the MANET routing protocols.
