Abstract

Existing network testbeds can enable developers to evaluate the performance of different routing protocols in a network and help students to enhance their hands-on experiences and understand complex and abstract concepts of routing protocols by allowing them to carry out real-world experiments, but they are either limited in features or expensive to establish and manage. To address the problem, this paper presents ARTNet - A Real-Time Testbed for Routing Network – which supports almost all the popular routing protocols for typical applications in a cost-effective manner. ARTNet has been implemented on a multiprocessor server for users to create and manage their routing networks. Performance and functionality evaluations on the ARTNet platform show that it is a promising approach.
