It is important that how to distribute traffic into multiple paths with reason and timing in Mobile Ad Hoc networks. Otherwise, it will cause the performance of these routing schemes to degrade drastically. Most of the traffic distributing schemes proposed in MANET so far don’t take limited resource and frequent topology change into account. In these schemes, it doesn’t reuse the distribution result, and the same size load is distributed into the various paths regardless of their qualities. It will lead to increased computing overhead. In order to circumvent these problems, a novel multipath traffic distribution method that is based on Ant Optimization Algorithm with Reusing Abilities is proposed. Experimental results indicate that, our method improves distribution efficiency about 20%, and improves the quality of multipath routing.
