AODV

AODV is a routing protocol for ad hoc networks designed with mobile wireless devices in mind.  For a quick overview on AODV's basics, check out our Quick Guide to AODV page.  If you are interested in running a simulation of AODV, NIST has developed a simulation in OPNET.

Kernel AODV

Kernel AODV is a loadable kernel module for Linux.  It implements AODV routing between computers equipped with WLAN devices.

Current version: 2.2.2

  • Problem with undefined symbols should be fixed.
  • The entire code base has been renovated. I still needed to add in some comments

If you have any questions, concerns or comments please feel free to contact Luke Klein-Berndt at: kleinb@nist.gov 

Requirements:

  • Linux with Kernel 2.4.
  • Netfilters. If you don't have it installed you need to reconfigure your Kernel options and then rebuild the Kernel.  There is a HOWTO manual on this which maybe helpful.
  • A networking card is needed.  If it is a wireless card, have it configured in Ad Hoc mode.  If you are unsure on how to do this, look for information on iwconfig and setting up a wireless network under Linux.
  • The source files for the Linux kernel you have installed.  They should be located in the /usr/src/linux directory.  Otherwise, you can download them from: http://www.kernel.org

Want more information?

Look at the README files included with Kernel AODV. Everything you need to get start should be contained in there.
