No.

Our application does run on Windows.

The only thing it does with AODV, however, is dissect AODV packets and
show their contents; it does not actually implement the AODV protocol,
just as, for example, Network Associates' Sniffer program, or
WildPackets' EtherPeek/TokenPeek/AiroPeek programs, don't implement all
the protocols for which they decode packets.

No.

Try looking for it with Google; a search for

	"aodv for windows"

found

	http://lists.udev.org/archives/lln-wave/2002-January/000316.html

which speaks of something somebody else found when searching for

	"aodv windows"

in Google; the URL in the article is out of date, it now appears to be
at

	http://bh.udev.org/filez/wireless/AodvWindows/aodv_windows.zip

The Google search also found

	http://lists.udev.org/archives/lln-wave/2002-January/000321.html

(both messages are in French, but I'm assuming somebody named Stephane
might not have a problem with that :-)).

I have not used the software in question (and haven't used *any* AODV
software for Windows - I don't even have any wireless machines that run
Windows), so I can't say whether that software

	1) is, in fact, an AODV for Windows

or

	2) works well.
