Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) are composed of mobile devices
equipped with short range radio capabilities. Communication is
possible between devices located in each other's transmission
range. Especially in sparse MANETs, node mobility leads to
frequent network partitioning, which makes typical networking tasks
much more difficult. Although we observe an increasing need for
partitioning information, the widely used network simulator ns2
does not support protocol developers to easily evaluate their
protocols concerning network partitioning.
To simplify the evaluation of MANET partitionaware protocols and
applications in ns2, we extend the simulator to provide
partitioning information at the simulation time. Developers might
be interested in using this information to evaluate their
partitionaware protocols and applications and to compare their
performance to the optimal case.
Hypergossiping is a partitionaware broadcast protocol for MANETs.
Nodes rebroadcast messages upon joining the partitions that have
not yet received these messages. Hypergossiping uses a heuristic
to detect partition joins. We show the feasibility of our approach
and the applicability of the partitioning information we provide
for ns2 users to compare the performance of our approach to the
optimal case.
