In mid-stack wireless networking research, simulation is often the final step of many research projects. Implementing and testing ideas on experimental networks can be difficult and expensive. The logistics and cost of buying, administering, and maintaining equipment cannot be ignored. Additionally, most mid-stack research must be implemented in an operating system kernel, usually the Linux kernel, a task that few are ready to attempt. The goal of the Flexible Internetwork Stack (FINS) Framework is to facilitate experimental research by removing the kernel development and by creating a solution that runs on small form-factor devices. The framework works by shifting most of the network stack functionality into userspace and moving network data to and from the kernel as needed. This means that all protocol development happens in userspace and the OS kernel is rebuilt only once. Implementations of standard protocols, developed by us, are included to ensure a "turn key" experience and simple start to using the framework.
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.
