Abstract
Currently, in any Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), one routing protocol routes the packets to their destination no matter what the network's context is! This 'one size fits all' approach is far from optimum. This paper introduces a novel intelligent routing protocol selector for MANET The intelligent selector learns the network's performance and behaviour then chooses the optimum routing protocol according to the network's context, e.g.: number of nodes and mobility. The selector recommends the optimum network context depending on the current network situation. The selector is adaptable to the variations in the network environment by predicting four important parameters that indicate the changes in the network context. The intelligent selector system can deploy any protocol to its best advantages by testing the network's context and employing the most suitable protocol for that situation.
