Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are used for providing Quality of Service (QoS) where nodes are having mobility and can travel in any random direction. There are several reactive protocols available in literatures which are suitable for MANETs based on single and multiple paths. Among these, AOMDV protocol is the most suitable for finding multiple paths to the destination. Multipath routing mechanisms have been preferred over single path routing to provide parallel safe paths and to maximize throughput. Applying traditional shortest path metric for multipath route selection leads to traffic concentration at some nodes resulting in congestion, thereby causing performance degradation. Reliable data transmission among mobile nodes in highly dynamic ad hoc networks was not ensured by AOMDV routing protocol due to the selection of the multiple node disjoint paths based on only minimal hop counts that lead to link failures and route breaks.
