[ASL] (no subject)

[Vikas K. <ka...@co...>]

The route_check modules in ASL-a-0.5 is actually for aodv and is the same
as aodv-helper. The simple route-check is in ASL-0.11. The definition of
output_filter is unnecessary code, it is not needed at all. I will correc=
t
it.  route-check actually needs only one hook, and that is at the
NF_IP_POST_ROUTING.

It is very different from kernel-AODV. kernel-AODV is doing all the
forwarding in the kernel module, hence bypassing the kernel routing table
completely. ASL lets the kernel do the forwarding, and routing is in
user-space.  route_check is simply to log the usage times of the routes,
hence it does not need all the hooks which kernel-aodv needs.

If you have not already done so, please look at the MOBISYS paper on=20
http://aslib.sourceforge.net

I will also try to find out if the MS thesis you mention can be made
available.
