Most existing routing protocols for mobile Ad Hoc networks (MANETs) are designed to search for the shortest path with minimum hop counts. However, the shortest routes do not always provide the best performance, especially when there are congested nodes along these routes. In this paper, we propose an on demand delay based quality of service routing protocol (AODV-D) to ensure that delay does not exceed a maximum value. First in this paper, we compare the performance of two prominent on demand routing protocols AODV and DSR in stressful situation. As the performance of AODV has been found better in our simulation than DSR, we decided to modify AODV routing protocol to provide quality-ofservice. This protocol takes into consideration MAC layer channel contention information and number of packets in the interface queue in addition to minimum hops. The protocol is implemented and simulated using GlomoSim simulator. Performance comparisons of the proposed AODV-D protocol against AODV, and QoS-AODV is presented and shown that the proposed protocol outperforms existing ones.10aAODV10aGloMoSim10aMAC10aMobile ad hoc networks (MANETs)10aPerformance evaluation10aQoS1 aKumar, R.1 aSarje, A.K.1 aMisra, M.  uhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-79960677246&partnerID=40&md5=b4b3c7a8accf3bb3de65c75a752e891502178nas a2200253   4500008004100000245008600041210006900127260000900196300001200205490000600217520132800223653004101551653000801592653003601600653002301636653001801659653001601677653002901693653004101722100001401763700001401777700001601791856011701807       2007                        eng d00aA review of quality of service (QoS) route provisioning in mobile ad hoc networks0 areview of quality of service QoS route provisioning in mobile ad  c2007  a32 - 470 v53 aWith the increase of portable devices as well as rapid advancement in computing and wireless technologies, mobile ad hoc networking is gaining importance with the increasing number of widespread applications. Quality of service (QoS) routing plays a prominent role for providing QoS in mobile wireless ad hoc networks. Real time and multimedia applications need stringent QoS requirements. Providing a complete quality-of-service (QoS) solution for the ad hoc networking environment requires the interaction and co-operation of several components which include a QoS routing protocol, a resource reservation mechanism and a QoS capable medium access control (MAC) layer. The tasks of QoS routing are in general selecting routes with satisfied QoS requirement(s), and achieving global efficiency in terms of resource utilization. QoS is more difficult to guarantee in mobile ad hoc networks than in other type of networks due to the sharing of wireless bandwidth among adjacent nodes, its dynamic topology and generally imprecise network state information. This work is intended to provide a broad and comprehensive review of the QoS routing protocols proposed for ad hoc networks. This paper also describes important QoS frameworks for MANETs which attempt to provide required/promised services to each user or application.10aCode division multiple access (CDMA)10aMAC10aMobile ad hoc networks (MANETs)10aMulti-path routing10aQoS framework10aQoS routing10aQuality-of-service (QoS)10aTime division multiple access (TDMA)1 aKumar, R.1 aMisra, M.1 aSarje, A.K.  uhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-33947328537&partnerID=40&md5=32892d1835b3d07244ec98fa129cdf02
