Abstract :
Ad-hoc networks are infrastructure less multihop wireless network. In ad-hoc network routes are provided by wireless nodes. Wireless nodes are free to move randomly on any direction with random speed. Ad-hoc networks with mobility are considered as MANETs. In ad-hoc network each node can act as a hop and router itself or both at the same time. Which make routing difficult, to deal with this problem routing protocol required. Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) is one of the simplest, efficient, and effective reactive routing protocol developed for MANETs. To maintain routes in wireless ad-hoc networks. AODV use some control messages to manage communication in between nodes. Route Request Message (RREQ) disseminated along with source sequence number through a node to discover a route, Route Reply Message (RREP) uni-casted along with destination sequence number back to source node, HELLO message used to detect and monitor link and Route Error Message (RERR) disseminated to inform all nodes when link failure occur in the network. To keep route information readily available and low routing overhead, AODV maintain route caching but some times cache not removed due to drop, collision and failure of control messages and route cache become stale. This stale cache leads routing loop in ad-hoc network. After detailed study of RFC 3561 & most of the research work done in past. It is commonly known in AODV routing protocol that sequence number are sufficient to protect networks from count to infinity problem. But in this research work implementation to be done to provide a valid proof of routing loop on the simulator. The purpose of this research is to identify flaw so in future we can get more reliable routing protocol.
