Hello Maxim,

AODV is Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector. This is a IP based routing
protocol for computers that get connected in an ad-hoc manner in WLAN
networks. Typically these environments don't have access points. Each
computer sets its WLAN interface to peer-to-peer mode. And this
routing protocol creates routes between these computers to
communicate. These routes are created on an as-needed basis (i.e. only
when a computer needs to communicate) and computers in this network
can also act as routers to other computers.

This protocol is a standard at the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF, http://www.ietf.org) as RFC 3561
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3561.txt?number=3561).

If you need more info about this protocol, just type AODV on Google.

Hope this is helpful.

Kind regards,
Asanga Udugama
