Abstract	:	A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes which communicate over ratio. These networks have an important advantage, they do not require any existing infrastructure or central administration. Mobile ad-hoc networks are suitable for temporary communication links. One of the major issues in MANET is routing due to the mobility of the nodes. Routing means the act of moving information across an internet work from a source to a destination. The Enhanced Ant Routing Algorithm (EARA) is based on ant algorithms. This algorithm is inspired from the ant colonies life. Forward packets are used to collect information about the network and backward packets are used to update the routing information in the nodes. EARA has two phases route discovery and route maintenance and also utilities the concept of backtracking when the packets are reaches destination node. Simulation results achieve better packet delivery ratio and reduce the average end-to-end delay as compare to its counterpart.
