“…The first and main reason is the lack of quality real world implementations. When we started building the Ad hoc Protocol Evaluation Testbed in the year 2000 [9], we had a hard time finding (a) any implementations, and (b) implementations that worked properly. Out of three protocol implementations (OLSR, AODV, TORA), only one was able to route packets over multiple hops.…”

Abstract. We believe that research on ad hoc networking so far has focused on too broad a range of scenarios and optimization issues and we argue that limiting the settings to bare bones services and small networks will allow for quick MANET deployment. Especially if these solutions interoperate easily with the Internet and offer the possibility to grow the MANET networks from there. Starting at this end will also help us to identify and possibly enlarge the "ad hoc horizon", beyond which ad hoc networking is no longer useful. In this paper we report on our experiences from five years of real world ad hoc network experimentation. Our approach is pragmatic and includes several implementations and a testbed software package. We highlight issues that we have encountered and identify crucial problems and potential dangers that deserves special attention in order to make ad hoc networking usable.

“…In the experiments, it is found that the CrossROAD over OLSR outperforms traditional P2P systems over AODV. Some 9 to 37 nodes are used within four mobility groups indoor on AODV and OLSR protocols, and it is found that the approach of choreographing node movement is suitable for real-life MANET testing [19] . An investigation has been carried out on the throughput of the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function considering a number of factors, e.g., path loss, multi-path fading [20] .…”

There is a lack of appropriate guidelines for realistic user traces, mobility models, routing protocols, considerations of real-life challenges, etc. for general-purpose mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). In this paper, four laptops are used in an open field environment in four scenarios to evaluate the performances of Internet control message protocol (ICMP) based ping and transmission control protocol (TCP) based streaming video applications using optimised link state routing (OLSR) implementation in an IEEE 802.11g wireless network. Corresponding simulations are developed in Network Simulator ns-2 by setting simulation parameters according to the real experiments. Difficulties faced to regenerate real-life scenarios have been discussed and the gaps between reality and simulation are identified. A setup guideline to produce realistic simulation results has been established.

“…The goal of these tools is to give researchers the same flexibility and usability during implementation-based experiments as provided by a typical network simulation tool. APE [22] and MTM [23] are examples of this class.…”

Abstract-Simulation is still the most widely adopted performance evaluation technique in mobile ad hoc network research, in spite of a growing number of questions about the fidelity of this technique. Implementation-based testing and evaluation of wireless networks tends to produce believable results, but the technique sometimes suffers from poor repeatability, high implementation cost, and complex experimental logistics. The topic of this paper is software tools to enable implementationbased experimental research on wireless networks. We review some of the existing tools and propose the Flexible Internetwork Stack (FINS) framework, our open-source solution for network protocol implementation, integration, and testing. FINS aims to provide researchers with monitoring, logging, and reconfiguring utilities similar to the ones provided by simulation environments or emulation testbeds.
