Abstract – One of the popular wireless network architecture is Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET).
MANET will deploy easily in any kind of environment without any use of infrastructure support.
MANET made of nodes which are mobile in nature. Every node in a network acts as a router. Each
node provides flexibility in network topology.
There are many routing protocol in MANET[1]. Among all the protocol one ad-hoc routing
protocol is on-demand routing that establishes a route to a destination only when it required. In mostly
on-demand routing protocol every time re-establish a new route after route breakage. In this paper, we
propose that when route break will generate at that time intermediate node send route error packet to
source and source has another route in its routing table. This secondary route will work as an active
route in data transfer.
