A survey: Use of ACO on AODV & DSR routing protocols in MANET

In this growing world, widespread and easily available use of mobile and portable devices such as, laptops, PDAs etc., the mobile ad hoc networks are receiving more attention for connectivity between these devices in real time. Ant Colony optimization routing is an adaptive and efficient for MANETs. Now a days, routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is a very challenging and growing issue because of its dynamic nature and decentralization infrastructure. Various routing protocols have been proposed for MANETs but results in limited bandwidth, high throughput, end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio and more energy consumptions etc. An ant colony optimization algorithms have good techniques for developing different routing algorithms for MANETs. The reactive routing protocols like, AODV and DSR using Ant Colony optimization are review in this paper.
