Simulation and analysis of RSAFE and RSAFE rerouting protocol in network simulator 2

In real-time systems, a fault on any node can lead to big financial and life losses. To overcome that issue several approaches have been proposed but the issue of the robust, reliable and cost-efficient network still persists. In our previous work, we have proposed Recursive Scalable Autonomous Fault Tolerant Ethernet (RSAFE) Scheme for such systems to overcome the limitations. In this paper, we present the implementation of RSAFE Scheme and RSAFE Rerouting Protocol in NS2. The simulation results shows that fault detection and recovery is possible in a specified time using RSAFE and its rerouting protocol.
