Overview
 Firefly algorithm, is a nature inspired meta-heuristic algorithm, which
was developed considering the flashing patterns of fireflies and their
behaviour.
 The effectiveness of the algorithm comes from the communication of
these fireflies, i.e. how effectively they communicate with each other
which, in turn, depends on the flashing pattern that is directly proportional
to intensity of the flashes.
A MANETs is a network without the aid of any fixed infrastructure, in which
nodes belonging to the MANETs can either act as end-points or routers.
The mobile nodes that are in radio range of each other can directly
communicate, whereas others needs the aid of intermediate nodes to route
their packets.
Characteristics of MANETs
 Distributed operation
 Multi hop routing
 Dynamic Topology
 Light-weight terminals
Issues with MANETs
 Node Mobility
 Lack of Central Control
Rahul Gupta has received his B.Tech Degree in CSE from MDU in 2012. He is currently pursuing his
M.Tech. with specialization Computer Science and Applications from Thapar University. At present,
he is working in the field of routing in MANETs under the supervision of Dr. Rajesh Kumar.
Proactive
 Maintain the routing information even before required. The proactive
protocols updates routing information on topology change.
Reactive
 Searches for the path in on-demand manner (i.e. whenever required) and
then establishes the connection.
Hybrid
 Uses both proactive as well reactive mechanism at different stages.

Firefly based optimized routing algorithm is a reactive routing algorithm
which applies firefly between every pair of a node and its neighbour.
Simulation results shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms AOMDV
with respect to packet delivery ratio, packet loss, throughput and delay.
