Abstract—This paper proposes a hybrid routing protocol which eliminates the delay before starting actual communication for most new connections of MANET’s. W_AntNet [3] and SDLRLA [1] routing protocol are used together for decreasing route discovery latency in real time communications in high dynamic networks. This protocol is named as Secure Load Aware Wireless Ant Network (SLAWAN) routing protocol. This protocol monitors the congestion status of active routes and reconstructs the path when nodes of the route have their network buffer queue overloaded. Simulation results show that the SLAWAN hybrid technique proposed in this paper is able to achieve reduced end-to-end delay as compared to conventional ant-based and SDLRLA routing protocols. In addition SLAWAN provides high connectivity.
