Simulations play a significant role in analyzing the performance of protocols in the field of networks. However, these simulations do not accurately reflect the real wireless environment enough to be applied to test the wireless communication environment. Therefore, we would like to analyze the performance of wireless communication by establishing an actual test bed. We utilize the AODV, a MANET-based protocol to build our test beds. However, the currently developed AODV open sources are no being updated as of 2007, and operate only on older kernels of the kernel 2.x. Because current embedded systems do not support older kernels, we analyze the AODV open source and design and implement the AODV protocol to operate on 3.x and 4.x kernel versions. In this paper, we identify the problems of AODV open source as the dependence of kernel modules, and to address them, we design and implement a Proc file system-based AODV routing protocol.
