Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is a dynamic network without any centralized control. Due to frequent topological change, routing has been always a challenging task in these networks. This article presents optimized routing for efficient data dissemination in MANETs to meet the fast-changing technology of today's world. A novel metric for such optimized routing in MANET is proposed. The main parameters considered to evaluate this metric are the energy consumed during the communication, link stability, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) and traffic. The concept is based on a scenario in which a mobile node (source) sends data packets to another mobile node (destination) through its dynamically connected neighboring nodes. The path which consumes the lowest energy and also shows highest link stability is selected for consideration. In case the paths consume the same amount of energy, the highest stable path is chosen. In this manner, the most optimized path is selected. The authors' routing approach shows more efficiency than earlier in dissemination of data and information over the Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks.
