In what follows, we present the most significant advantages of AODV protocol: Because of its reactive nature, AODV can handle highly dynamic behavior networks.Unicast, Broadcast, and Multicast communication.On-demand route establishment with a small delay.Link breakages in active routes efficiently repaired.All routes are loop-free through use of sequence numbers.AODV reacts relatively quickly to the topological changes in the network and updating only the hosts that may be affected by the change.
Introduction to Data Communications and Networking
Published in Mário Marques da Silva, Cable and Wireless Networks, 2018
Depending on the number of destination stations of data involved in a communication, this can be classified as unicast, multicast, or broadcast. Unicast stands for a communication whose destination is a single station. In case the destination of data is all the network stations, the communication is referred to as broadcast. Very often broadcast communications are established in a single direction (i.e., there is no feedback from the receiver into the transmitter). Finally, when the destination of the data is more than a single station, but less than all network stations, the communication is referred to as multicast.
Networking: Concepts and Technology
Published in P. S. Neelakanta, ATM Telecommunications, 2018
In the classical STM and packet switches, only point-to point connections are available, because information has to switch from one logical inlet to another logical outlet. However, in the broadband network an additional requirement arises. As a matter of fact some services have a “copy” nature, and thus expect, in the ATM switches, the capability to provide multicast and broadcast functionality. (Broadcast can be defined as the provision of the information from one source to all destinations, whereas multicast provides the information from one source to many destinations).
Decentralized spreading of ephemeral road incident information between vehicles

Data is transmitted over a network by three elementary methods: unicast, multicast and broadcast. Unicast is a one-to-one transmission from one vehicle in the network to another vehicle. Multicast is group communication where data transmission is addressed to a group of destination vehicles simultaneously. Broadcast is a method of transferring a message to all recipients in range simultaneously. Ephemeral incidents should be transmitted to all affected vehicles, which are not known to the sender, but are in a known area. So broadcast is the suitable transmission method. Several broadcast schemes exist and are employed here for comparison of their effectiveness.
