Abstract: In a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET), mobile nodes constructing a network, nodes may join and leave at any time, and the topology changes dynamically. Routing in a MANET is challenging because of the dynamic topology and the lack of an existing fixed infrastructure. In this paper, we explore the difficulties encountered in implementing MANET routing protocols in real oper¬ating systems, and study the common requirements im¬posed by MANET routing on the underlying operating system services. Also, it explains implementation techniques of the AODV protocol to determine the needed events, such as: Snooping, Kernel Modification, and Netfilter. In addition, this paper presents a discussion of the advantages as well as disadvantages of each implementation of this architecture in Linux.
