In mobile Ad hoc networks (MANET), a multi-path load balancing mechanism was proposed in order to distribute the traffic evenly into the network and alleviate partial congestion. Load balancing method was realized at the source node after detecting the current flows in each node by using Bloom filter. The estimated link lifetime, the end-to-end delay and the existing traffic along the forwarding paths were used together as the routing metric of multi-path load balancing mechanism. The proposed multi-path load balancing mechanism was evaluated and analyzed through simulations, which showed that the performance was better than the traditional multi-path routing mechanism, such as the packet delivery ratio, the end-to-end delay and the control traffic; the results also showed that multi-path load balancing mechanism suited for the scenario with small node density.
