Abstract There are various bio inspired and evolutionary approaches including genetic programming (GP), Neural
Network, Evo lutionary programming (EP) exp loited for routing optimizat ion in MANETs and WSNs. The Swarm Intelligence based algorithmic approaches; Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Co lony Optimization (A CO) are more p ro mising in provid ing loop free, energy-aware, and mult i-path routing in mob ile ad hoc and wireless sensor networks. There are various constraints involved in ad hoc and sensor networks protocols due to the mobility and non infrastructure nature of the system. We study in this research work a probabilistic performance evaluation frameworks and Swarm Intelligence approaches (PSO, A CO) for routing protocols. The performance evaluation metrics employed for wireless and ad hoc routing algorith ms is , (a) routing overhead, (b) route optimality, and (c) energy consumption. Th is survey provides collection of Swarm Intelligence based algorithms for mobile ad hoc an d sensor networks and their critical analysis. The study concludes that PSO and ACO based protocols are advantageous than other approaches applied for the routing optimization in ad hoc and wireless sensor networks.

1. Introduction
The MANETs are a co llect ion of wireless mob ile nodes having no well established infrastructure and dynamically changing topology in nature. Due to the frequently changes in topology and infrastructure less nature, Ad hoc networks require a h ighly adaptive routing algebraic approaches. In ad hoc net works , co mpon
