ABSTRACT
A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a temporary, infrastructure less wireless network composed of mobile nodes. Due
to the limitations in the wireless environment, it may be necessary for one mobile host to enlist the aid of other hosts in
forwarding a packet to its destination. Since traditional routing protocols cannot be directly applied in the MANET, a lot of
routing protocols have been proposed. Though there are many wireless routing protocols developed, there is not a single
algorithm to accomplish efficient route in dynamic environment. This paper presents a new routing technique based on
registration of newly arrived nodes and checking the local cache for forwarding the packet to the desired destination called
Registration and Aggregate Cache (RAC) routing algorithm. Theoretically RAC algorithm eliminates the drawback of
Table Driven and On Demand routing algorithm.
