a demonstration of the meshtest wireless testbed for delay-tolerant network research
MeshTest is a laboratory-based multi-hop wireless testbed that can subject real wireless nodes running real DTN implementations to reproducible mobile scenarios. It uses shielded enclosures and an RF matrix switch to dynamically control the attenuation experienced between pairs of nodes. The testbed is an ideal platform for DTN testing, offering convenient experimental control and data management. We have installed the DTN2 Reference Implementation on the testbed nodes, and and have been using it to run experiments. Our current experimental scenarios are similar to the well known Data MULE and Message Ferry models, but a large variety of other experimental scenarios are possible.
