Enhancement in DSR Protocol for Load Balancing and Congestion Control
The routing protocols are classified as reactive and proactive routing protocol. The reactive protocols are the protocols which establish route from source to destination when required on the other hand proactive routing protocols are protocols in which nodes store routing tables and on the basis of these routing tables route is established between source and destination. The simulation results show that reactive routing protocols are efficient than proactive routing protocols. DSR is the reactive type of routing protocols. DSR protocol establish route from source to destination on the basis of hop counts and sequence number. There is possibility that the route which is established between source and destination will be in congestion. In this paper, we are proposing new technique for congestion control in DSR protocol. The new technique is implemented in NS2 and results show that proposed technique is better than the previous techniques.
