Mobile ad hoc networks consist of mobile wireless devices which autonomously organize their infrastructure. Its performance depends on the value of different parameters, like number of nodes and mobile connections. Multi-path routing allows building and use of multiple paths for routing between a source-destination pair. It exploits the resource redundancy and diversity in the underlying network to provide benefits such as fault tolerance, load balancing, bandwidth aggregation, and improvement in QoS metrics such as delay. In this proposed work is converting Dynamic Source Routing Single path Protocol into Multi-path Routing with concept of Load balancing. The source node maintains up to 5 paths in its ROUTE CAHCE which it receives as a result of Route Discovery process and Target node will receive RREQ packets and send RREP packets for first 5 requests received. Currently it is replying only first RREQ packet received and rejects the remaining. Hence its can improve the DSR performance.

It is an adhoc network which is set up by wireless mobile computers (or nodes) which moves randomly in the places that have no network infrastructure or hard to reach location. Since the nodes communicate with each other to gather network information. They cooperate by forwarding data packets to other nodes in the network. In wireless adhoc networks, cooperation between nodes takes place so that they route each other's packet till it reaches destination. Hence they are exposes to a wide range of security attacks. Also because the vulnerability of routing protocols, the wireless adhoc networks have to face several security risks.
