A MANET WITH CACHING CAPABILITIES VISUALIZATION TOOL
E. Casilari, Alicia Triviño · 2010
This paper presents a desktop application tool for visualizing simulations of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks with caching capabilities. This tool uses the log files generated by any network simulator that implements the required log format and the mobility file with the NS2 format in order to represent both, the network traffic and the mobility respectively. This tool works as an interface to represent the network activity and the node mobility by means of animations. On the other hand, this tool also calculates and shows, on real time and at any simulation time, the statistics needed to evaluate the MANET performance as well as the cache states. Finally, reports in PDF format including the statistics of each node and the global statistics can be generated. The application is implemented using the Java language and hence it is multiplatform.
