The proper parameter selection of any protocol for optimization is difficult task in a network. Due to dynamic nature of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs), selection of routing protocol should be very precise. Keeping this in mind we have selected an Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) as a routing protocol and analyzed its performance in MANET. There are many parameters in AODV protocol to control its working operation. One of them is network diameter (NET_DIAMETER) that effects the working operation of AODV. Therefore, the selection of network diameter is very important role in AODV. By default, it is set at 35 in AODV rfc3561. But we have observed that on changing the network diameter, the network performance also gets affected accordingly and found that when the network diameter is set at 30 for low node density, Throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio and Average End to End Delay are found better. The simulation software used for this paper is NS-3.29.
