Aodv-uu

EmmaH

I am tryin to run AODV on two red hat 9 machine.
when I try just to get aodv-uu say talking between two machines via the lan, I enter

aodvd -i eth0 -l 3


I get a continous output of

12:44:30.193 aodv_socket_init: Receive buffer size set to 262144
12:44:30.194 main: In wait on reboot for 15000 milliseconds. Disable with "-D".
12:44:30.194 hello_start: Starting to send HELLOs!
12:44:30.986 rerr_create: Assembling RERR about 224.0.0.2 seqno=0
12:44:30.986 packet_input: Sending RERR for unknown dest 224.0.0.2
12:44:30.986 aodv_socket_send: AODV msg to 255.255.255.255 ttl=1
12:44:30.986 packet_input: Wait on reboot timer reset.
12:44:32.296 rerr_create: Assembling RERR about 224.0.0.2 seqno=0

When I try and do this thru a cross-over cable, I get an just a small output saying that it was just sending HELLOs, then it just times out.

This however is only since I set IPv4 forwarding to "on" in the /etc/sysconfig/network file. However this then causes conflict with the running of the internet.


Am I running the right type of command. What does the 3 do in the command above?
Does the ip forward effect the aodv? How do I simply ping the other p.c after this command. I am trying to get these two pcs at least showing some sign of aodv working before I move onto a wireless version on more p.c's!

Any help, as always appreciated.

Prolly not a useful contribution, but: have you seen locustworld's mesh solution? I understand it uses AODV routing. You can download a bootable CD image and see it in action - the config files might give you some ideas.
