ARAN: A Secure Routing Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks









Documentation > Running arand

This document describes how to run arand. It is assumed that you have installed and configured arand already.

arand comes with a script called run.sh that deletes the network route from your routing table that is automatically added when you activate the network interface (on most Linuxes). The route must be deleted because in ad hoc networking, the only routes an ad hoc node is concerned with is routes to other individual nodes. Network routes do no make any sense in ad hoc networking.

You will want to examine the run.sh script in the arand package and modify it for your setup.

Running arand

  1. Run the ARAN daemon
    /usr/local/bin/arand-run.sh
