A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is made up of wireless mobile nodes that do not require a central infrastructure or administration to establish a network. It is possible for the MANET nodes to function as a router or host. MANET works with an independent multi-hop mobile network which can be used in several real-time applications. Thus, an important issue associated with MANET is the identification of paths with high-level Quality of Service (QoS), like topology. The purpose of having a QoS-aware protocol in MANETs is to enable the discovery of paths that are more efficient between the source and destination nodes of the network and hence, the need for QoS. In this paper, a novel algorithm which can be used in the African Buffalo Optimization (ABO) to improve the QoS of routing protocol MANETs. With ABO, path selection is optimized in the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol. Results of the test revealed that when ABO is used in AODV, delay and energy-aware routing protocol is manifested.
