Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance
Vector Routing (AODV)
•Discovers routes on-demand.
•Uses traditional routing tables, one entry per
destination that are dynamically established at each
intermediate node.
•Use ‘hello’ messages for local connectivity
management.
•Sequence numbers maintained at each destination to
determine freshness of routing information and to
prevent rooting loops.
•Timer-based states in each node regarding utilization of
individual routing table entries.
•Expanding ring search optimization.
