Improving Network Performance by Minimizing Congestion in MANET

Congestion is the major issue in mobile ad hoc network. Which is responsible for the packet loss in the network and the packets are not reached to the destination. Mainly bypass route is selected for transmission of data if congestion occurs in the path but the bypass route is time consuming technique to overcome this problem we apply leaky bucket algorithm at node. we initially detect the congestion in the path by calculating the capacity of the link and if the congestion detected then we applied Leaky Bucket Algorithm for the storing of data. Using this technique we can save more data from the loss and it increase the performance of the network.
