Abstract:
With the increasing size and complexity of emerging military communication networks, low footprint emulation methods are required to evaluate protocols, algorithms and user performance. In this paper we describe a new emulation architecture that is scalable, modular, and responds to real-time changes in topology and link characteristics. We use this scalable emulation testbed to evaluate system performance in a simple Satcom network topology, and enhance it to emulate dynamic resource allocation using distributed software architecture.
