“…However, no claim is made that it is complete. Examples of systems that can be added to this survey include Netbed [55], Dummynet [56], MobiEmu [57], MASSIVE [58], NIST Net [59], hitbox [60], Delayline [61], SensorSim [62], W-NINE [63], ONE [64], ENDE [65], REAL, NEST, PacketStorm, UMLSim, RAMON, TOSSIM, EMStar, and possibly some others. Future work on this survey should focus on new ways of categorizing the emulators, as well as extending the number of emulators being covered in the survey.…”

Abstract-Emulations and testbeds are popular tools in networking research. However, what differentiates testbeds from emulations is not terminologically clear. In this article, we first discuss the terms emulation and testbed, and present the reflexivity principle for identifying testbeds. We then present a survey of forty two network emulators and testbeds reported in the literature, categorizing them according to the approaches used. Another eighteen that can be added to this survey as future work are also identified.

“…The current version on W-NINE has evolved from the earlier version, described in [13], mainly by employing the KauNet emulator extensions instead of plain Dummynet. KauNet is used in the central router of a physical platform called NINE.…”

“…The behavior of these tools is detailed throughout the remainder of this section. a) SWINE: The Simulator for WIreless Network Emulation [13], [14] is a model-based Java simulator that produces an emulation scenario based on a high-level description. The emulation scenario and high-level description are both XML files that must be validated against schemas.…”

More and more applications and protocols are now running on wireless networks. Testing such applications and protocols is a real challenge as the position of the mobile terminals and environmental effects strongly affect the overall performance. Network emulation is often perceived as a good trade-off between experiments on operational wireless networks and discrete-event simulations on Opnet or ns-2. However, ensuring repeatability and realism in network emulation while taking into account mobility in a wireless environment is very difficult. This paper proposes a network emulation architecture based on off-line computations preceding online pattern-based traffic shaping. The underlying concepts of repeatability, dynamicity and accuracy are defined in the emulation context. Three different simple case studies illustrate the validity of our approach with respect to these concepts.

“…There are also attempts to develop emulators that recreate by themselves network conditions that correspond to real events. Such is the case, for example, of W-NINE [8] and the wireless-network emulation extension of SDNE [9]. These two implementations both start from a description of node positions and movements.…”

“…Our approach is inspired by [8] and [9] in the sense that QOMET is a two-stage scenario-driven design. Therefore it can be run on top of any wired-network emulator.…”

In this paper we present a methodology for the evaluation of networked systems communicating using WLAN technology. We show a case study of goal-oriented cooperating robots, for which our approach is particularly useful. Developing robots is expensive; hence emulation can be employed in the first part of the development cycle to study robot software implementations in realistic conditions at a reduced cost. Our methodology is based on the emulation of both the robots and the WLAN communication technology. The robots we consider cooperate in order to efficiently reach a destination while avoiding collisions with obstacles and other robots. The WLAN communication emulation engine QOMET is deployed in the emulated robots to recreate network conditions similar to those occurring in a real WLAN environment. The experiments are run on a large-scale network experiment environment, StarBED, using the support software RUNE. Currently, over one hundred emulated robots can be run simultaneously during an experiment on our testbed.
