Short for Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector, a routing protocol
for ad hoc mobile networks with large numbers of mobile nodes.
The protocol's algorithm creates routes between nodes only when
the routes are requested by the source nodes, giving the network
the flexibility to allow nodes to enter and leave the network at
will. Routes remain active only as long as data packets are
traveling along the paths from the source to the destination.
When the source stops sending packets, the path will time out
and close. Featured Partners Sponsored - Increase worker
