AODV-UU For Linux

AODV-UU (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing, from Uppsala University) is a routing protocol under investigation by the IETF for use in ad-hoc networks, where both end-users and routers are mobile.

AODV-UU supports IPv6 and multicasting (with the appropriate patch) and is compliant with RFC 3561.

Here are some key features of "AODV UU":

· Runs on Linux 2.4.x kernels and in the ns-2 simulator. · Crosscompiling for ARM based devices like the iPAQ and Zaurus is supported. · Complies with RFC3561 · Implemented as a user-space daemon and requires NO kernel modifications. · Easy to compile, install and run. · Optional unidirectional link detection and avoidance (not specified in draft). · Multiple network interfaces support. · (Multiple) Gateway support through tunneling.

Requirements:

· Linux Kernel (2.4 branch) · Network Simulator 2.26 (optional)

What's New in This Release:

· Updates to compile on 2.6.20 and 2.6.22, fixes for cross-compiling for ARM, memory leak fixes, and updates to the NS-2 connection. · Route metrics are now used for deleting routes.
