AODV, like many ad hoc routing protocols, assumes that wireless links are inherently bidirectional in nature. Unfortunately, bidirectional links are not always available in the wireless medium because of heterogeneity in wireless card capabilities. This can lead to packets being lost when sent over unidirectional links and cause general disruption of the network.
