Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is one among the wireless self-organizing network which plays an important role in promising multimedia applications and as well it maintains incredible traffic demands for ubiquitous access. As the results energy utility is highly increased so that an effective routing protocol is very essential to improve the packet delivery ratio and transmission reliability of the network. For that purpose in this research Traffic and Energy Aware Load Balancing (TEALB) Routing Protocol is proposed in MANETs. This protocol is mainly categorized into three segments they are Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV) Routing Process, TEALB Routing Process, and route maintenance. Using the processes multipath transmission is effectively performed in MANE Ts with effective path adjustments according to the node mobility which helps to achieve maximum packer delivery ratio and throughput during the process of communication in the network. Network Simulator (NS2) is used to simulate the performance of the proposed TEALB-MANETs. The parameters which are used for the performance analysis are packet delivery ratio, end to end delay, routing overhead and throughput. In order to perform comparative analysis the earlier protocol which are considered are SMLB-MANETS and MCLB-MANETS. After analyzing the outcome achieved from the results it is proven that the proposed TEALB-MANETs achieves high packet delivery ratio and throughput and as well lower end to end delay and routing overhead when compared with the earlier approaches.
