Using VIRMANEL and SILUMOD to study protocol for mobile multihop networks

In this demonstration, we show how to use a couple of tools we developed, VIRMANEL and SIMULOD, to study how the true implementation of an ad hoc routing protocol behaves under various mobility scenarios. VIRMANEL is a tool that configure virtual machines connections with respect to mobility. It features a GUI to observe the behavior of mobile nodes. SILUMOD is a domain-specific language that allows to describe mobility models. It defines the positions of the trajectory of moving through the appropriate keywords. These tools, published under the LGPL license, are used here to study the Linux implementation of OLSR.
