This paper describes a simulation environment to easily create complex Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) scenarios using Virtual Network User Mode Linux (VNUML), a network virtualization environment based in User Mode Linux virtual machines running the DTN reference implementation. The simulation environment allows us to explore the applicability and behavior of the DTN architecture in real isolated-areas scenarios in developing countries. Furthermore, new developments built in the reference implementation (dynamic routing, multicast, anycast) can be easily debugged and analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
