Bandwidth Aware Routing Protocol for MPLS-MANET

Abstract

Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) iscomposed of sensor nodes without any infrastructure like wireless access points or base stations.The route generation among the nodes is the key issue in the MANET.So, the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is introduced in MANET for an effective route generation and this MPLS based MANET improved the bandwidth and end to end delay.Here, the hybrid rerouting (HRR) mechanism is introduced in the MPLS based MANET and the HRR is the combination of both the Adaptive Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) andGlow-worm Swarm Optimization (GSO). This proposed methodology is named as HRR-MPLS-MANET. The effective routing over the MPLS based MANET created by considering distance, residual energy and the number of hops. By considering these parameters, the optimum path is generated and it is used for obtaining the effective bandwidth from the MPLS based MANET. The performance of this HRR-MPLS-MANET methodologyanalysed in terms of bandwidth, end to end delay, alive nodes, dead nodes, energy consumption and throughput. To evaluate the performance of HRR-MPLS-MANET, it is compared with HCR-AODV and AAODV. The end to end delay of the HRR-MPLS-MANET methodology is 0.075ms, which is less compared to HCR-AODV and AAODV method.
