\section{Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV)}
|
|
|
|
|
|
AODV is a reactive routing protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks
|
|
(MANETs). Its best fit are especially ultra-low power radio networks,
|
|
or those RF topologies where sporadic traffic between a small specific set
|
|
of nodes is foreseen.
|
|
In order to create a route, one node must explicitly start the communication
|
|
towards a remote node, and the route is created ad-hoc upon the demand
|
|
for a specific network path.
|
|
AODV guarantees that the traffic generated by each node in order to create
|
|
and maintain routes is kept as low as possible.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{pico\_aodv\_add}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection*{Description}
|
|
This function will add the target device to the AODV mechanism on the machine,
|
|
meaning that it will be possible to advertise and collect routing information
|
|
using Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Routing, as described in RFC3561, through the
|
|
target device.
|
|
|
|
In order to use multiple devices in the AODV system, this function needs to be called
|
|
multiple times, once per device.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection*{Function prototype}
|
|
\texttt{pico\_aodv\_add(struct pico\_device *dev);}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection*{Parameters}
|
|
\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
|
|
\item \texttt{dev} - a pointer to a struct \texttt{pico\_device} specifying the target interface.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection*{Return value}
|
|
0 returned if the device is successfully added.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection*{Example}
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
ret = pico_aodv_add(dev);
|
|
|
|
\end{verbatim}
