Abstract-Traffic classification aims at assigning packet flows to adequate Quality of Service (QoS) aware transmission. Although a great deal of research was conducted on broadcast communication in ad-hoc networks, broadcasting is still a challenging issue. Although blind flooding is considered as the most well-known broadcasting mechanism, it is inefficient in terms of communication and resource utilization. Alternatively, the counter based broadcast scheme is one of the diversified efficacious schemes to alleviate blind flooding scarcity where it counts, on the received redundant packet number over the node and its neighbours, whereas the node contrasts the redundant packet itself as well as each neighbour node which has already rebroadcasted a packet. Currently, the existing counter-based schemes are mostly based on a fixed counter based approach. However, these schemes cannot perform efficiently in various operating conditions. Thus, unlike existing solutions, this paper suggests a dynamic counter-based threshold value and investigates its effectiveness within the renowned reactive routing protocols, namely, Dynamic Source Routing Protocol (DSR). Precisely, we develop a novel broadcasting counter-based algorithm, namely Inspired Counter-Based Broadcasting (DSR-ICB). DSR-ICB, through diversified simulation experiments, has demonstrated superior performance especially in terms of delay as well as redundant packets rate.
