Recently more number of routing protocols is discovered for better data routing in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). However link failures exist in the network due to appearance of low energy nodes, low link gap connectivity while routing, etc. To compute low complexity routes and to minimize the energy consumption a nature bio inspired algorithm Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) mechanism is applied in the sensor networks. An Efficient and Optimal Routing using ACO is proposed. The premium route is determined with sub-premier nodes having high link-gap connectivity factor. The best premier nodes are selected from the sub-premier nodes on basis of bandwidth integrity and eternal energy factors for determining the premium route. The proposed work is validated by comparing the results of other existing techniques. The performance metrics proves that the proposed mechanism exhibits better throughput and delivery rate with low loss rate.
