From simulations to deployments

Abstract

Ever since network simulation was established the community is holding a never ending discussion on its credibility and degree of realism [35, 147, 149, 150, 270, 359]. Hence, network researchers and developers feel an increasing pressure to deliver experimentation results next to simulation such as from testbed and real-world settings for a credible and realistic evaluation of protocols and distributed systems. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
