Communication Redundancy.

[Jakub Sphinx]

Hello everybody,

Will anybody be kind to point on the most related examples or modules for the following Task.

I am interested in a communication Redundancy where one node is using multiple or 2 interfaces simultaneously. assume a communication node with two separated physical hardware.

            xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx               xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
node0                            node1                        node3    
            oooooooooooooooo               oooooooooooooooo

where the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and 0000000000000 are representing different channels, using different frequencies and different Propagation/Path-loss models. As for the long term, I have interest to add an optical free space propagation model allowing a communication redundancy for both Optical and Radio/Based solutions.

Regards

Jakub

Hi,

You can easily add two (or more) network interfaces on a node and construct the system you want.

What is missing at the moment from NS-3 is what you want to investigate - redundancy mechanism.

And that's up to you how you want to implement it.

K.
