DES Simple and Extensible Routing-Framework for Testbeds (DES-SERT)

DES-SERT is the DES Simple and Extensible Routing-Framework for Testbeds. It is implemented as user space library that can be used to implement proactive, reactive, and hybrid routing protocols. DES-SERT is included in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution and is also available on this website. A tutorial on how to use the framework can be found here. An extra library provides functionality that is used by many routing daemons.

The following protocols have already been implemented with DES-SERT by the Computer Systems and Telematics, Distributed Embedded Systems research group at Freie Universität Berlin. We will make them available one after another in the next time when they meet our release standards and provide an autoconfiguration so that they are usable out-of-the-box.

Ant Routing Algorithm (ARA)
Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV)
Better Approach To Mobile Ad-hoc Networking (B.A.T.M.A.N.)
Dynamic Source Routing (DSR)
Gossip routing
Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR)

More information about the implementations are available here. If you have got any questions, feel free to contact us. We are very interested in getting some feedback.

The new library libdessert-extra provides several sys, mesh, and CLI callbacks for libdessert. New experimental features will be added in this library to keep the API and ABI of libdessert as stable as possible.
