Abstract:- A mobile ad hoc network [MANET] is a self-configuring infrastructureless network of mobile devices connected by wireless. Each device in a MANET is free to move independently in any direction, and will therefore change its links to other devices frequently. Each must forward traffic unrelated to its own use, and therefore be a router. The primary challenge in building a MANET is equipping each device to continuously maintain the information required to properly route traffic. MANETs are a kind of Wireless ad hoc network that usually has a routable networking environment on top of a Link Layer ad hoc network. Mobile ad hoc Network [MANET] is a wireless network which is created dynamically without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. The main classes of routing protocols are Proactive, Reactive and Hybrid. AODV is a Reactive routing protocol (meaning that it establishes a route to a destination only on demand) designed for use in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). Here we aim at overcoming the existing drawbacks of AODV such as, to avoid inconsistent routes, to control routing overhead and unnecessary bandwidth consumption.Also improvement in the performance parameters of MANET like Throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio, Packet Loss Ratio and End to End Delay, thus leading to design of a new and efficient Mobile Adhoc Network. This work is carried out by using NS-2 simulation environment
