MANETs are networks capable of communicating in a set of small, low cost, low power sensing devices. A wireless sensor networks is totally based on the limiting factor i.e. energy consumption. A wireless sensor network consists of large number of sensor nodes distributed or scattered in particular network region. MANETs consist of node that is highly mobile, so in particular the range of the nodes is very important. Each device in a MANETs is free to move independently in any direction, and will therefore change its links to other devices frequently. The energy and the bandwidth of such path are of major concern. The lifetime of the network depends upon these parameters. There has been a paper already published by us termed DSPO that resolved the performance issues regarding the bandwidth efficiency and the energy efficiency. Also it suggested the alternatives to remove the dead state of the mobile nodes. But one of the concerns that arise as a future work of that protocol was the handling of delays that may arise and make the network incompetent in terms of the real time performance. In this paper, we are introducing the protocol that defines certain techniques that can be used to resolve the delays that may occur on the selection of alternative path during dynamic routing.
