ORBIT-USER: Some questions in ORBIT testbed

[#ARINTO MURDOPO#]

Hi all, 

 

My name is Arinto, from Nanyang Technological Univ. Singapore. Currently
I'm doing my final year project in this testbed. I have some questions
regarding the ORBIT testbed. My final year project is about analyzing
the performance of wireless ad hoc network in mobile/vehicular
environment. In this project I'll implement a Geographical Routing
protocol, either Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing or Geographical
Source Routing and analyze it using this emulation testbed. 

 

My questions are 

1.	According my understanding after reading some papers about
orbit, what I need to do is to implement that protocol in Linux
platform, and upload it to the testbed as baseline images. Is that
correct? What is the most commonly used Linux platform for implementing
protocol for ORBIT testbed emulation?
2.	Refer to paper Maximilian Ott, Ivan Seskar, Robert Siracusa,
Manpreet Singh, "ORBIT Testbed Software Architecture: Supporting
Experiments as a Service" , Proceedings of IEEE Tridentcom 2005, Trento,
Italy, Feb 2005
<http://www.orbit-lab.org/attachment/wiki/Orbit/Documentation/Publicatio
ns/orbit-software-architecture-v2.pdf> . Section 2 states that
experiment definition consists of 5 sections: topology, application,
prototype, mapping and staging. Where does the implemented network
protocol belong to? Does it belong to topology section since it states
that topology section defines the communication pattern between them?
3.	Is there any archive for this mailing list or something like
MSDN forum for ORBIT testbed?
4.	Do you know any resources on performing experiment in ORBIT
other than from ORBIT website? I want to see example on performing
complete experiment from experiment definition until measurement
collection.. Until now I'm still a little bit blur about how to conduct
an experiment. 

 

Thank you for the attention.
