                  environment like the MANET still remains a point of
                  research, especially in the context of
                  time-constrained applications. The incapacity of ad
                  hoc networks to offer services of the likes of
                  static or infratructured networks may be attributed
                  to two major reasons. One, unpredictable mobility of
                  hosts cause location-transparent-packet-delivery to
                  be implemented only at the expense of large control
                  overhead. Two, the lack of central control causes
                  connection management and scalability to be major
                  problems in the multi hop environment. In this paper
                  we propose an efficient agent based routing
                  mechanism that not only incurs minimal overhead, but
                  also lays the foundation for additional
                  functionalities as network management and real time
                  applications. In other words, we show that the agent
                  framework makes the MANET robust and survivable
                  under stringent system constraints.},
