Implementing Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector routing protocol in Linux

Multi-path routing protocol attracts more and more attention because the routing performance can be improved by making use of advantages of multi-path routing protocol, such as fault-tolerant and load balance. To validate multi-path routing protocol in real environment, the Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector (AOMDV) routing protocol is implemented in Linux based on AODV-UU. The functions of AOMDV protocol are implemented in user space, and the interaction with the kernel is implemented based on Netlink and Netfilter. Experimental results validate the implementation of AOMDV.
