Abstract: In this paper we are going to discuss the working strategy of an optimized link state routing protocol for MANETs. OLSR routing protocol is suited for large and heavy mobile network as optimization is achieved with the help of MPRs. There is different type of routing protocol present in market but OLSR is one of the routing protocols which are reliable for dense networks, in which traffic exist more due to the maximum number of mobile devices. Optimized link state routing protocol is works on link state algorithm. Protocol is proactive in nature also known as table-driven routing approach. Key concept used in OLSR routing protocol is multipoint relays (MPRs). In case of flooding process, MPRs are used to forward broadcast messages. MPRs technique significantly decreases the message overhead as compared to a traditional flooding technique. OLSR routing protocol provides the optimal routes for the transmission of messages.
