Abstract
With the rapid proliferation of wireless mobile devices in todays society, it is becoming increasingly useful to aggregate mobile devices moving together as a single mobile network. It is also necessary to test new mobile network applications and protocols (e.g. NEMO) in realistic scenarios, where an incremental development approach can be adopted in order to experiment and explore. We present a simulation framework, Cloonix-Net, a virtual network tool using User Mode Linux (UML) machines, for the purposes of building and testing such scenarios. We show that studying mobile network protocols with such a framework is a beneficial step towards better understanding network mobility protocols.
