Ad-hoc mobile networks routing protocol play an important role in the performance of the network. The Route states hold time parameter in routing protocols has a direct effect on the packet delivery rate. Moreover, the number of stations and their movement speed in the network also has an effect on the network performance. Our aim is to identify the effect of varying Route states hold time parameters for Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol and to measure the degree at which the number of stations and their movement speeds will affect the packet delivery rate. These factors are presented, discussed and simulated using OPNET simulation software. Key-Words: Aodv, Opnet, Olsr, Rreq, Rrep, Active route timeout (ART), Packet delivery rate (PDR)
