Asis known, wireless networks have limited capacity compared to wired networks.In mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), because of mobility, capacity management becomesmore difficult. MANETs are networks that are formed by wireless connections ofmobile devices that are configured automatically. MANETs do not have a specificbackbone or infrastructure. MANETs do not have a centralized structure. Becauseof that, traffic flow control is more complex compared to the networks thathave centralized structures. There are many studies about flow control due tosuch problems. In this study, the Reservation Based-Reliable Flow Control (RB-RFC)algorithm for mobile ad hoc networks is proposed. The RB-RFC algorithm is basedon users’ requests for bandwidth reservation to hop nodes. Hop nodes distributethe bandwidth equally among the requesting users. RB-RFC algorithm is simulatedusing ns-2 and the obtained results are compared. According to the experimentalresults, the algorithm was found to be successful.
