            Abstract : 
Designing efficient, cost-effective routing solutions for the infrastructure-less MANETs remains a daunting task till date. A proven optimization technique, the Ant colony optimization has been used in this paper to find the optimum in terms of the shortest route in a MANET. Special attention has been given to the load balancing and congestion control in the network. The simulated performance graphs show an improved congestion control for the proposed routing protocol.
