method and system for discovering a route between a source node and a destination node in a wireless network. A system and method for discovering a route between a source node and a destination node in a wireless network is described which includes setting an intermediate response flag of a route request message through the source node, flooding the network. wireless with the route request message and responding to it with the route response message through a first intermediate node that has a valid route to the destination node. Also described is a system and method for discovering a better route in which the route response message becomes a route response message. The system and method for discovering a better route includes selecting through the destination the best route between itself and the source node based on cumulative metrics received in the route request messages received through the destination node, creating a response message from additional route and transmit the additional route response message to the source node.
