Question about large scale network simulation/emulation of original BATMAN source code

[DEBRAJ DE]

Dear all,

    We are from Georgia State University, Atlanta. I have some question about large scale network simulation/emulation of original BATMAN source code, hoping that this might have been required in some of your project.  

 

   We are concerned whether there is any proven way of showing that batmand works well for large-scale wireless networks.  So we were looking for any network simulator/emulator that can run exact same Linux protocol stack source code (e.g., batmand) without modifications? We are developing a 500-node sensor network of linux/android devices mesh-networked with batmand, but before we actually deploy them, we need to first verify the integrated computing algorithms and protocol stack in a simulated/emulated environment at same or larger scale. 

  Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks so much. 

Regards,

Debraj,

Look into the protocol simulator from U. Maryland, I think it's call MARS.  It does almost what you want, albeit might need some work to accommodate links with variable quality, and links that share spectrum capacity with other nearby links will be another challenge.  Typically widely adapted protocols, such as OSPF, RIP, BGP, have been run through this, with a fair number of Master's & PhD thesis coming out of effort.  It would be great to see BATMAN go through this analysis.
