AORA measures the network's traffic information including delivery time, route energy etc. by the continuous delivery of data packets, then calculates the compositive parameter for each route which can be seen as the stigmity and uses it to choose the comparatively optimal route in real time. To adjust the weight of each traffic information, the algorithm can meet the different demand of the network's user.
