What Does AODV Mean?
• An ad hoc network is a network with no
existing infrastructure
– No routers or access points
– Instead each node acts as a router
• On Demand refers to the nature the
network routes information.
– it only creates and maintains routes b/w
nodes as and when they are necessary and
active
What Does AODV Mean?
(cont.)
• Distance Vector refers to the way in
which routes are implemented
• Routers using distance vector protocol
do not have knowledge of the full path
to the destination
• They have a routing table which
dictates the next node to forward the
information to and the distance to the
destination
What is AODV?
• It’s a routing protocol for wireless ad hoc
networks
• Provides a way for nodes to communicate w/one
another
• Can be directly from one node to another
• Needed when nodes need to talk to nodes they
are not in range with
are so key.
Error Messages RERR
• RERR are used mainly when nodes get moved
around and connections are lost. If a node
receives a RERR, it deletes all routes
associated with the new error. Error
messages are sent either when a message
(not RREQ or RREP) is sent to a node that has
no route to the destination, or when a route
becomes invalid, or if it cannot communicate
with one of its neighbors.
