The Network Simulator (NS-2) [1] is a most widely used network simulator.

This tutorial presents the implementation of Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance

Vector (AODV) Protocol [2] in NS-2. The expected audience are students

who want to understand the code of AODV and researchers who want to extend

the AODV protocol or create new routing protocols in NS-2. The version

considered is NS-2.32 and 2.33, but it might be useful to other versions

as well. Throughout the rest of this tutorial, the under considered files are

aodv.cc, aodv.h, aodv logs.cc, aodv packet.h, aodv rqueue.cc, aodv rqueue.h,

aodv rtable.cc, aodv rtable.h which can be found in AODV folder in the NS-2

base directory.
