Blind flooding is used for many on-demand routing protocols within Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), in order to propagate routing control packets, such as, Rout Request (RREQ) and Rout Reply (RREP) during route discovery. As such, blind flooding broadcast a high number of unnecessary routing packets, which is caused contention, packet collisions and huge number of duplicated messages. These problems are called broadcast storm problems, of what decreases the efficiency and performance in MANET. This paper proposed new probabilistic method to improve the performance of existing on-demand routing protocol by reduced the RREQ overhead during rout discovery operation. The simulation results show that the combination of AODV and a suitable probabilistic rout discovery can reduce the average end- to- end delay as well as overhead and still achieving low normalized routing load, comparing with AODV which used fixed probability and blind flooding.
