Delay and capacity (throughput) are two important parameters to route data packets in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs). In this paper, a new connectionless routingalgorithm has been proposed to overcome the performance limit. The proposed algorithm is an extension of dynamic virtual route (DVR) algorithm. Mobility degree of nodes' neighborhood is used to calculate two mobility metrics. Mobility metrics are utilized to establish a more stable route between source and destination. Simulation study shows that the proposed algorithm can improve the network throughput and decrease average end-to-end delay significantly.
