A demonstration of the RapidMesh development toolkit.

We propose the demonstration of the RapidMesh development toolkit for rapid protocol simulation, implementation and experimentation in wireless mesh networks. RapidMesh utilizes declarative networking, a database-inspired extensible infrastructure that uses query languages to specify network behavior. RapidMesh integrates a declarative networking engine with the emerging ns-3 network simulator. Our demonstration presents the experimental evaluation of a variety of declarative MANET routing protocols under different dynamic settings on the ORBIT wireless testbed. The evaluation results are shown in the ns-3 visualizer to display the mobility pattern of network and to compare the protocol performance. We also demonstrate the development cycle for synthesizing and experimenting with new routing protocols. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
