How to use AODV routing protocol in ns2?

Description

The reactive on demand routing protocols establish the route to a particular destination only if it is needed. Adhoc on-demand Distance Vector (AODV) is one of the commonly used reactive on demand routing protocols in mobile ad hoc network (MANET). AODV is a reactive enhancement of the DSDV protocol. The route discovery process involves ROUTE REQUEST (RREQ) and ROUTE REPLY (RREP) packets. The source node initiates the route requested through the route discovery process using RREQ packets. The generated route request is forwarded to the neighbors of the source node and this process is repeated till it reaches the destination. On receiving a RREQ packet, an intermediate node with route to destination, it generates a RREP containing the number of hops required to reach the destination. All intermediate nodes that participates in relaying this reply to the source node creates a forward route to destination. AODV minimizes the number of packets involved in route discovery by establishing routes on-demand. The sample15.tcl shows a node configuration for a wireless mobile node that runs AODV as its adhoc routing protocol. Prior to the establishment of communication between the source and receiver node, the routing protocol should be mentioned to find the route between them. Data Transmission is established between nodes using UDP agent and CBR traffic.
