To overcome this problem, it is necessary to select the correct routing protocol and use the routing protocol\u2019s default parameter values. This study examined the effect of route request parameters, such as RREQ_RETRIES and MAX_RREQ_TIMOUT, on the Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol, which was then compared with the default AODV performance Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocols. The performance metrics used for measuring performance were Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), throughput, delay, packet loss, energy consumption, and routing overhead. The results show that the OLSR protocol has a smaller delay than the AODV protocol, while in other measurements, the AODV protocol is better than OLSR. By reducing the combination value of RREQ_RETRIES, MAX_RREQ_TIMEOUT in AODV routing to (2, 10 s) and (3, 5 s), the protocol\u2019s performance can be improved. The two combinations result in an average increase in throughput performance of 3.09%, a decrease in delay of 17.7%, a decrease in packet loss of 27.15%, and an increase in PDR of 4.8%. For variations in the speed of movement of nodes, 20 m\/s has the best performance, while 5 m\/s has the worst performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computers10010002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,22]],"date-time":"2020-12-22T12:42:28Z","timestamp":1608640948000},"page":"2","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Performance Optimization of MANET Networks through Routing Protocol Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1906-7224","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tri Kuntoro","family":"Priyambodo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Electronics, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"}]},{"given":"Danur","family":"Wijayanto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Electronics, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1583-9795","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Made Santo","family":"Gitakarma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Electronics, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Roy, R.R.
