A Simplified Methodology for Random Topology Generator builds in Ad Hoc Network Test Bed

摘要

Emulation that uses iptables commands to create a desired logical topology is a technique that has been widely used in laboratory environments. The iptables commands are input directives for the iptables packetfiltering system that controls the inbound data packets in real time to emulate the connection between any two communicating computers. The packet-filtering process is based on the hardware address of the network interface card of the sender, and it can be accomplished in a wired or wireless network. Here, we effort to automatically generate arbitrary logical network topologies. This paper briefly focuses on simplified methodology we adopted for generation of Logical Topology in Adhoc Network Test Bed in our research laboratory environment without having to physically move the nodes in the adhoc network
